In Paris Nov 2010

We are safely in Paris where we met the rest of the team, 2 from South Carolina and 1 from Long Beach, California. Emily and I are SO disappointed not to be able to take our tour into Paris but we just have to suck it up. I'm sure there is a good reason why we can't. We arrived here at 12 noon, alomost 4 hours late, and we leave at 4:10. I actually have enough euros left from last time to email. There are still some colored leaves here and lush green and golden fields, from what I could see from my center aisle seat. It is a bit overcast, but still very sunny and 60 F, so it is a very nice day.

I actually slept on this flight, from what I can estimate, about 5 hours, so I was very thankful for that. I woke up to them nudging my elbow with breakfast. That is a miracle in itself. Emily had 2 empty seats beside her on the plane and I had 1, so we weren't cramped.

So Emily and I just got back from cruising the stores in the airport. Stuff is unbelievably, grossly expensive, but pretty to look at. Murray bought a laughing cow, a stuffed toy that laughs and rolls around. We are going to put on our dresses so that we will not offend anyone when we land, so I hope it is not cold on the plane.
