Our Trip Thus Far

[Radbird]

No, the power outage was only the first night. All in all, Paris was amazing despite the ongoing transit strike, which basically has gridlocked the city (there's mention of it lasting until Christmas). We walked everywhere, and because of that we didn't get to see/do everything we had planned (didn't get to Notre Dame, or the Musee D'Orsay for example). But we stayed in the Rue Cler neighborhood that jim recommended and it was great. Lots of markets, vendors, crepe stands, restaurants and bistros. And since we couldn't get around on the subway, we saw a lot we wouldn't have otherwise just because we were walking. Highly recommend Paris if you ever get the chance to go there. We just got a taste, and definitely want to go back - hopefully when there is no strike and the exchange rate is a tad more favorable.

Now we're in London, and my avatar change reflects what I shall primarily focused on for the next week.
