So after an exhausting flight, we finally arrived at Charles de Gaul airport at around 7:30 a.m. local time.. 1:30 a.m. East Coast time! It took us another 3ish hours to take a taxi (horrifying; lanes here are smaller than in Atlanta!) and arrive at our apartment on the 5th floor of 15 Rue Michel Chasles (look it up on Google Earth!) and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Kind of small but still gorgeous!

Yeah. That's our door.

view from one of our many balconies!
As soon as we got to our apartment, I passed out for about 3 hours. Two of our roommates won't be here till later this week, so right now its just Christy and I. When I woke up around 3:30 p.m, Christy and I ventured a few blocks and went to our first French meal at a French Cafe...
we ordered wine, duh.
happy girls!
and also ordered...
and....
YUM.
After that, we walked around and went to the metro to get our passes sorted out. Our French was STRUGGLING, but luckily everyone we ran into was decent and mostly spoke English.
Well thats all for now! The other kids from the dorms are coming over and were having wine and baguettes for dinner! Happy to be here but missing everyone from home!
One last picture..
