We Go to Gay Paree

12 October -- SUNDAY

We took the 11:42 train to Paris and arrived a little less than two hours later. On the train I felt quite a letdown. I was really sad to leave Laval and that incredible weekend. It was hard to imagine that we had packed so much into just two days! However, I was exhausted and I told Carrie that I needed to escape to Paris in order to rest!!!

After making our way through the station and finding a taxi, we arrived at our apartment on Rue Geoffrey L'Angevin, right next to the Georges Pompidou Center in the Marais district (the unoffical gay district of Paris - we were, literally, in "Gay Paree" and Beatrice and Bruno got a big kick out that when I told them). I rang the buzzer and a couple of minutes later Louis, our landlord, popped his head out the fifth floor window and said he'd be right down.
