And so the adventure begins. I've spent the last eight days in Paris with my family and various significant others. We've had an incredible time as ex-patriots for a week, extravagant meals, four apartments, fabulous shopping, wine, beer, spirits. The family left me today, and it's starting to sink in that the extravagant meals and unlimited alcohol will not be feasable from my measly account. I went across Paris with a huge suitcase that I dropped off at a hostel I'm staying at later, and walked the other direction with my backpack to the hostel I'm staying at for the next few nights, which doesn't happen to open until 16h. So I found myself a brasserie with free wifi and got a caraffe of wine and a green salad. Paris is so expensive...I think I'm going to eat lettuce all week long on account that it's all that I should be spending my money on. The hostels cost 21-29 euros a night...so much for a cheap backpacking trip! As of now, I have no idea what I'm going to be doing all day by myself. It's going to be weird to not have my 4 cousins, 2 of their boyfriends, my aunt, uncle, and mom to entertain me all day. I've already seen most of Paris anyway...I guess I'll just find a nice book, right? I'll be spending the next two days trying to figure out where the party's at for new years.
No pictures quite yet, it seems I've left my USB cord in the US and won't get it until my mom gets time to ship it to me. Oops. I'll be sure to get some up soon!
