Le premier jour

After over 29 hours of travel clark and I arrived in Paris. Yippee. I spoke French with the cabbie and the doorman. Driving in Paris is so nuts. Anyway it has been really fun so far. The hardest part is knowing what to do in certain circumstances. For example, I didn't think it would be so hard to figure out how to eat breakfast. Clark and I woke up too early this morning and nothing really opened until about 7:30 or 8. We found a cafe to eat in but we weren't sure whether to sit down or go to the bar. Everyone seemed to be at the bar. After I asked, we sat down and ordered le petit dejeuner, it comes with une boisson chaud (a hot drink) but I mentioned how Clark isn't to big on coffee so I asked for just a water (I forgot that tea is also a hot drink), so the waiter said, only a water? And I said yes, but then as he was walking away I realized that he meant ONLY a water (and not the rest of the meal) so I made sure to correct that. It would have been really funny if my yummy croissant and cafe au lait came out and Clark only got a glass of water. After le pd (petit dejeuner) we wandered around in search of an apple store which was near the louvre somewhere, it took a while to find, apparently it was IN the Louvre. The louvre had wifi near the apple store and for some reason Clark's iPad wifi finally started working. We got in trouble for sitting on the ground, then we left and got baguettes with camembert after having walked for 3.5 hours. Later we are going to buy dinner from some of the markets and see where the apartment is located where we will be staying in a couple of weeks.
Our hotel has French tv, awesome, last night we watched "enquete la violence souterainne", it was like french cops, but less dramatic, they try to catch thieves or harassers or whatever in the metros.
The Notre Dame is gorgeous and the Seine is amazing. The sky is clear and the weather is fresh.
Whoa, long post about random stuff, but we are so excited!! Clark doesn't understand a thing, but people said I spoke good French :)
