Paris By Night

So I missed my stop on train to Paris and wound up in Euro Disneyland. I was too anxious and frustrated to buy a ticket or take any pictures for you guys, though. Fortunately, a train from one of Paris' subway systems ends its run there, and I was able to take it into the center of the city. Phew.

I think I caught a cold in Dublin. I more or less expected that I would being that I'm exposed to a new environment. So when I finally got to a hostel in Paris, I pretty much just wanted to lie down and rest until the morning before starting my Parisian exploration. My two new roommates, though, Brett and Troy, were in better health. Since I wasn't feeling all that run down, we went out to sample French cuisine and see Paris at night. I'm definitely glad I did. A beget is a delicious and filling meal for €3, and the Seine is gorgeous by night. I can't believe it. Strategically placed recessed white and multicolored lighting, dinner boats, rows of street lights. It's just too bad my camera doesn't work too well in the dark (the shutter opens for a longer period of time). But the city is magnificent. You can't duplicate it... it's just 1500 years of perfection in the making.
