Paris

I finally made it to Paris, and while some of us spent the day having dessert at each cafe we walked past, others took the Metro down to the Louvre, Notre Dame, and other parts of the city. Today's itinerary mostly consists of a visit to the Louvre and the drive back to Flanders. Fortunately, the sun stays up until 11 p.m. in Belgium in the summer, so we can ride until pretty late at night.

Whit and Madika (my roommates) actually flew to Paris with me; we just happened to choose the same flights. They met up with us for dinner at a local restaurant. Mitch and Elliot rocked the Tartar, while others went with the Duck Confit. Afterwards, our server gave us all free beer. After dinner, we each picked up bottles of wine - 3 euro for a good Bordeaux at Le Champion supermarket - and drank it on the steps overlooking Montmartre. A Spanish drug dealer tried to start a fight with Rob but turned tail when he realized there were 8 of us.

Hopefully we'll get some pictures of the excursion to Paris up soon. The internet costs money in Europe (I'm not sure who made that decision), so it's hard to make blog posts. Who knew?
