I'm in Paris!

So Ora and I made it to Paris alive. It was surprisingly painless landing at Charles de Gaulle, the hard part came when we were trying to find the most trivial of things, like convenience stores and toilettes at the airport. Our plane arrived shortly after 8am local time, but we weren't checking into our hotel until at least noon, so we had a lot of time to kill.

Not nearly as many people speak English here as I thought, or at least not unless it's a mix between French and English. Ora is a lot more willing to speak French with the locals than I am, as I usually revert to some kind of Franglais. However, the only impressions I've gotten of the city so far are of the airport. Our hotel is in the 12th arondissement, which it appears from our Paris map is just a metro ride away from the Louvre and all those great sites, which we will hopefully get to see tomorrow! The hotel (Hôtel Agate) is very compact, but its also extremely cute. Right now, it is only 12:45pm here in Paris, but it feels like nearly 4am to us, which means that i have been awake for almost 23 hours.

And now, after a short hiatus, Ora and I accidentally fell asleep for 6 hours longer than we expected to! haha. Crap. Well, here's to being jetlagged in Paris!
