I made it to Paris.

This is likely going to be a short post today. I've been awake since 6am yesterday.  I figure that is close to 38 hours. I am one tired puppy!

I'll figure out why my pictures are posting sideways later. 

Wore my mask in the flying tin cans. There ain't no bugs in me, I hope. 

My Airbus A350 900. It's HUGE!

Las Vegas to Los Angeles to Charles de Gaulle Airport followed by a long taxi ride (there's a taxi strike today that jammed up traffic really bad) to my hostel...The St Christopher's Inn. 

Home far away from home

My cocoon, complete with locking storage below. I may have as many as 9 roommates. 

I did take some time to familiarize myself with the 2 nearby train stations to make sure I would know which one to go to when I leave for Switzerland on the 25th. 

Not this one. 

This is the one! 

There's no high speed rail from Paris to Zurich, but i do think these will be faster than the ones I rode in 1976. 

Sleek! 

During the day I often hear a police car or police motorcycle go by. If you've ever watched a movie about Ann Frank then you know exactly what the sirens sound like. It's a little creepy at first!

It's supposed to stop raining tonight. I plan to use the city bikes to get around and see the sites of Paris during my time here. 

Here's some random shots I took around the neighborhood.

This train will take you through the Chunnel to England 

McDonald's, Burger King, and KFC are also nearby

A free piano for anyone to play. He was good. 

Cool art on this building

Impressive Smash burger and a pint of Heineken
