So for breakfast, the hotel offered a free breakfast that consisted of bread, cereal, and basically all these cold foods. For eggs, sausages, and such, you had to pay 3 pounds (it was the "Full English Breakfast"); so yesterday Lori and I got it after seeing Steve and Blaine get it, and we just kind of split it so we didn't have to pay double; no one really came up to us and charged us for it, and we didn't want to get the group in trouble, so we went up to the counter and paid, but apparently Steve and Blaine didn't, and nothing happened, so today we just ate and didn't pay. Actually, that's what pretty much the whole group did, hahah.

Leaving the hotel; by the way, those are the telephone booths I was talking about hahah.

It was kind of drizzling in the morning, and we saw this set up of umbrellas, and it looked cool. 8D


The White Cliffs of Dover; I heard our tour guide say the name, and I got all excited cuhs its location was a question on Mind Madness and a on a geoquiz in WHAP, and I was totally like "... Dover? Delaware? United States?" so yeah. I know it now. England. 8D

The bus driver asked the guys to step out and help unload the suitcases onto the carts, and literally no one stepped off at first hahah, and then Santos went, and then Chavez went, and then one by one the guys went. Reluctantly, hahah.



We took the ferry to Paris, and it was, like, an hour-long ride, so we broke out the cards, and played Uno, and one of the chaperones had Catchphrase, so we played that afterwards.

It was a 4-hour bus ride to the hotel (Hotel Majestic), and when we got there we were pretty disappointed, since it looked so small, and the lobby was so narrow and cramped, and we were expecting much better in Paris. We would be rooming in threes this time, so I was a little worried about us being all cramped up. Also, the elevator wouldn't take more than two people. We were in room 114 -- oh, and there were two buildings, essentially; the first 1 indicated that we were in the first building -- so we just took the stairs.

It wasn't as bad as we were thinking. Lori saw the individual bed, and jumped at it, and Trisha and I were like 'fine, it's the crappy couch bed anyway' hahaha. When we found out that our window opened up to this rooftop-complex thing, we were pretty psyched -- even moreso when we found out everyone's room faced the square! So we just kind of left the window opened so we could talk hahah.



Lori and I went to the very top floor of the building; there were a lot of motion-sensored lights lol.

After we had some time to get all settled in, the group went out and walked to a restaurant.






After dinner, we headed for the subway to get to the Eiffel Tower.

Pioch said something about how we should know where we're going and not just follow aimlessly, so everyone started taking pictures of the sign hahah. Then we were waiting for something, and the chaperones told us not to block the walkway, so we all lined up along the walls, and clapped as people got off the subway and walked past us hahahaha. They gave us weird looks.


Lance (our tour guide) warned us about these people who hung around the Eiffel Tower that would try to sell you little trinkets that were "disgusting and evil" and that we shouldn't even look at them and just walk away, and we were all like "o.o". For the record, they totally weren't that bad; this one guy had this bird-thing, and it was pretty badass.

We all took like a million pictures of the Eiffel Tower that all look the same hahah.
