YAY! I'm here

Ok so I've been trying to update this for many days... we are stealing our internet and its a little bit shaky. Anyway my trip was fine although I really wish someone was videotaping me dragging my two 50 pound suitcases through the Paris metro and up and down stairs... people were laughing at me and some actually stopped to help (and people say Parisians are rude). There were a couple funny things on my way though like, when we landed in London we couldn't get off the plane because we had to wait for the police to escort someone off. Terrorist? Maybe.. but I think it was just a black man and his baby.... weird. Also I kept running into people in Heathrow because I instinctively want to walk to the right of people and they want to go left, go figure. There were lots of transfers and metro riding, I even hoboed it onto the Tram in Orléans because I didn't have a ticket. Finally I got to my apartment and found my keys which Amanda (my roommate) had left with the barmaid next door. I walked up the one flight of stairs and tried to open my door... and couldn't. Thats right folks, my keys worked I was just too weak to push the door open. Here are some photos from that.



My giant French keys

I'll post some pictures of my house and room later because I have a huge room and nothing in it but an air mattress. Which is quite comfortable... thanks doll.

I love ya'll and miss ya
