Paris.....we have arrived.

Today was physically and mentally exhausting.....it took us 2 bottles of wine to recoup. The day started out in a cab to Heathrow, then a walk to the Tube station and 60 minute Tube ride to St. Pancras Station again, 2-1/2 ride on the Chunnel Train to Paris (180 mph Oh My !!), 15 minute ride on the Paris subway, then about a 6 block search for an address that housed the keys and instructions for our apartment. After we retrieved the keys & instructions, it took us about an hour to decipher the instructions and figure out how to get to the apartment and how to open it. Considering these instructions were written in English, we were feeling pretty stupid. It was written like a Mensa Logic puzzle. Good exercise here, our apartment is on the 5th floor and the lift does not work, but we are 1 block from the Louvre. David arrived from Budapest about 6:30pm and we set out on our first evening walk to the Latin Quarter for some people watching and a great french meal. Tomorrow we set off on our itinerary to see the best sites of Paris in six days.
