Bonjour from Paris!

Bonjour from Paris!
Originally uploaded by smhyla.

This is the first chance to access the web in Europe. My withdrawal from blogging was manageable, since we were constantly on the go all around Paris. In 2 days, we squeezed in most of popular tourist things-to-do. Of course, we didn't do justice to the Louvre, but we saw the Top 10 displays within 1 hour, believe it or not. I will be posting more pictures in the near future.

Based on my short time in Paris...
Highlights:
*Convenient public transportation (which equals exercise)
*Desserts - fancy and yummy
*Acceptable to drink wine during the day

Lowlights:
*Graffiti and trash, especially dog poop
*Not English-friendly (but thank goodness for my friend who doubled as my translator/tourist guide)
*Cold weather

Now I'm in Cambridge, UK (just as cold if not colder). My jetlag is killing me today, so I can't wait until today is over. We might do some punting after work if it doesn't rain (again). I don't mean punting, like in rugby or American football. Cheers!
