Nous sommes arrivés à Paris.

We arrived in Paris on the 28th, and have been staying in a hotel in the Latin quarter. Back in the day, this was the university district. The instructional language for all classes was Latin, hence, the name of the area.

Notre Dame cathedral, and the Seine river, are five minutes away from our hotel. In the mornings, we have been jogging along the Seine.

Yesterday we took a bus tour of the city. The tour drove past: La Madeleine, L'Opera, Louvre, Saint Germain-des-Prés, Orsay Museum, la Place de la Concorde, Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadéro, la Tour Eiffel, les Invalides, and a few other notable locations. So many sites to see. At each stop, we had the option to leave the bus to explore.

Our friends Jake and Val arrive in Paris today. We will meet up with them tomorrow.

Today's Mission: Locate our hostel and move in.
