Hiking Paris

Well I wanted to go to the Louvre today... all day, but unfortunately its closed on Tuesdays. hmmm. Being suddenly faced with an entire day with nothing to do, in Paris of all places..., I decided to agressively seek out internet access to get my blog up to date and make future travel arrangements. The receptionist at my hostel mentioned that some cafes around the Louvre have WiFi access, and another told me that there are hotspots in two places in the city, one of which is in a place called La Defense.

I found a few cafes, but they only give you internet access for twenty minutes at a time (for free, though)... a bit troublesome. Thus, I packed my things, and with hope my heart set off on the long grueling journey through the barren wilderness, my trusty ox dragging my covered wagon to the place were all my dreams would come true.... no, not Oregon.... La Defense... Sadly, it was only a place of false hopes. The hotspot wanted 10 euros and hour for access. Since I had made the trek all the way out here, I bought an hour just so my time wasn't a complete waste.

I did however find the worlds largest Louis Vuitton bag as I was coming out here though. I'm sure all the girls would be impressed:
