Oh Paris, how will I survive you?

After four flights around the US and Europe the airline loses Ally and my bags. It was slightly frustrating to wear the same clothing four days in a row, but Allys bag and my study abroad bag showed up this morning. The trip was a little hectic and we almost missed our flight to Amsterdam, but the planes were nice and Ally and I sat next to each other for three out of four of the flights, which was nice. Since then we have been running around Paris catching the main sights and seeking out good/cheap food. I have enjoyed everything so far, but it is really weird thinking that I will be here for afew months and hopefully will learn the language. I better because I have a French class at AU in the Spring that I have to pass...

Also, the train from Paris to Madrid that we wanted was sold out, so we have an overnight train. It will actually save us the cost of one hotel night, so we end up saving money, yay!

I am having a great time and I cant wait for the next leg of our journey.

Maybe the Mike Mayer show should have an episode of lost AU abroad students in foreign coutries, eh?
