So this is going to be a short, picture-less post. We had a wonderful time with Joanna and her parents in Portsmouth yesterday, but I'll have to write more on that later. It's just after midnight, Paris time, and I ended up having Scottish shortbread (thank you, Joanna!) for dinner tonight- about ten minutes ago. We had a long day- leaving Portsmouth just after 10 this morning to take the train back to London, then getting the 1:30 Eurostar from London to Paris, then navigating through a subway system where we don't speak the language, and finally finding our hotel. Our hotel doesn't have elevators, and we're on the sixth floor, so by the time we lugged our bags up 70 or 80 steps we were exhausted. We rested a while, then took the subway to see the Eiffel Tower, and climbed yet more stairs (350 more...whew!)
Anyway, by the time we saw the tower, we realized it was too late for us to shower at our hotel (we're sharing a shower on our floor, and it closes at 10:45) and all of the restaurants were closing down for the night. So now we're going to bed dirty and eating shortbread for dinner. I'm hoping tomorrow goes better than today- everything should be better after a good night of sleep. And at least we know where we're getting breakfast tomorrow- downstairs at our hotel. We just have to be careful not to forget anything in our room when we go downstairs. It's a LONG way back up! Until tomorrow...
