In Greece!

Just a quick note to say we made it to Athens.  Claire and I got to Paris yesterday morning and went to the L'Arc de Triomphe (I got in free because I'm a "EU resident" hehe), saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiar, walked along to the Champs Elysees (I bought a super cute top for 50% at Nafnaf-score!).  Bit of an adventure getting to our hotel as it is quite far out of the center of the city.  The hotel directions said to take the RER C train to a certain stop and that the hotel was 2 miles from the station.  Because it's a train station, we assume there will be taxis waiting.  Nope.  The Holiday Inn Orly is literally in the middle of nowhere in an industrial area.  We decide to just start walking, and see a sign that says hotel-->  What hotel? Nobody knows.  We found a gas station and asked, and the guy said the Orly hotel was straight ahead.  Success, it was ours! So after we found our hotel we went back to the center of Paris and did all our wandering around.  Off to Santorini tomorrow,

bisous,
Darcy
