Okay, we are now in Marseille. Didn't have any wireless at the hostel we were staying in, so internet was limited. But the hotel that we are in now, has wireless, so i'm back to blogville. let's see, let me give you an update. After Montreal, Diane went to Alaska to visit a friend and Steve and I went back to Paris. When we landed in Paris, we went straight to the train station, with the intention of buying tickets to Pamplona for the "running of the bulls" that was going on that week. We were in line, talking to the ticketer, almost gave him our card to pay when we suddenly back down. We wanted to go, but we knew that we didn't have a hotel booked, and when we get there, hotels would be either full or charging an arm and a leg for a nights stay. So we did the spontaneous back down, and walked around the city to find a cheap hostel. Finally found one, walked into a chinese restaurant and they were renting rooms upstairs! Quaint little place, bathrooms down the hall, a little tub for a shower, and a TV with 3 channels. It was still pretty cool though...i will charge that to experience!
That night we went to the Eiffel and saw it at night, all lit up and sparkly! So beautiful!....The next day, we slept in, so tired from all the traveling, then we went to the Louvre again ( i just finished Da Vinci Code), then went to city called Montparnasse, very cute town that had a view of Paris and an immaculate church! after that we went to the Moulin Rouge, no show, just walking around...pretty much another city like the Red Light District. The next day we went to Paris Disney! So awesome! Different from Disneyland...most of the same rides but, certain aspects were different that made them really cool! Space Mountain rocked!!! there were a couple of loops in that one! Overall, i rate Disney Paris= A+. The next day, we visited Jim Morrison's grave. That was pretty unbelievable. The big headstones in this cemetery were unreal! so now here we are....3 hour train to Marseille from Paris. I see Diane tomorrow, play on Tuesday, and just found out that we made it in the qualification for Switzerland and Austria, the next 2 Grand Slams!!!
