Wandering the city

2004-10-02 | Paris, France

Today I got into town at about 7:30 AM and these really friendly French people in my crammed couchette helped me get situated. Once I hit the end of the station a guy walked up to me and asked if I had a place to stay. He showed me pictures of the hostel his sister ran (which was basically a huge house). I got the directions and headed there to check it out, for I would rather just get the pack off and stay at least one night.

I got in there and once I found it I saw that there were Eastern characters describing the location on the map and come to find out they set this up for Korean people visiting France.

I got in and I hadn't had dinner the night and they were having breakfast so the owner insisted I join in. It was very good and it definitely hit the spot.

The good thing about this hostel was that there was free internet so I caught up on things. While I was typing away I talked with the guy who promoted this thing to me for about an hour. We talked of China and the eastern countries, religion and a ton more. It was really nice and another one of those conversations I wont forget. I jumped in the shower and then hit up the city.

I followed a recommended 5 hour walk starting in Moulin Rouge, but I ended up getting distracted and ended up on Montemarte Hill where the Sacre Ceur is. I saw the a great view overlooking the whole city and got my first glimpse of the Eiffel tower. I ended up wandering the city and ending up at the Eiffel tower for a long time. I guess the pictures will describe most of my wandering.

The Eiffel tower was what I have been anticipating seeing the most. I wasn't really disappointed I just wished I had been there with more people. I still got the photos I wanted though. Really there isn't much more to say about my wandering except the fact that the city constantly keeps me interested and I totally love it. The people are so nice. I haven't had one incident where the people were rude. In fact one of the first interactions with a person was when one came up to me with out my asking and helped direct me the right way. There is so much to see in this town. You'll also notice that I already have links up to the Paris photos. It is easy for me to update the links now, so please enjoy them.
