I made it

Have I ever mentioned that I'm impatient? Well, I am. Which made my extremely long day of waiting very painful. I was happy to see my flight get changed from 9 to 8:30, only to have to wait until 8:30 to begin boarding anyway. I have no idea what time we actually took off but it was too late. I ate the slightly-more-appealing-than-cardboard dinner the airline served me then watched P.S. I Love You on the inflight entertainment. I had trouble keeping my eyes open towards the end, though, so I decided to plug into my headphones and take a nap. It wasn't even close to comfortable and I woke up often but I think I managed to pull off about 3 hours of sleep. Then I began to watch a TV Show and before I knew it we were making our descent into Paris.

I was super excited to get off the plane, but then I had to wait almost 45 minutes for my luggage to arrive (the french sure don't rush things).  I met up with Jeanne and her dad and got up to their car, only for us to realize that their lisence plate was nearly falling off. So we got maybe 3 minutes from the airport and we pulled off to have a mechanic fix it and--guess what--we had to wait more. Probably another 45 minutes. And thennnn, after we finally got on the road, traffic hit. So I think it took me a good 2.5 hours after getting off the plane until I was in Jeanne's apartment.

We had a nice quick classic french lunch--quiche and a baguette--and then I took to unpacking my suitcase. Once that daunting task was over, I crashed and took a quick one hour nap. I woke up, showered, and here I am. I'm going to try to take some pictures tonight--Jeanne's friends are coming over in half an hour or so so there should be plenty of photo ops. I'm feeling an early night to bed, though, and then who knows what I'll do tomorrow. The streets of Paris look inviting--maybe I'll check them out ;)

A bientot!!
