moving time

Allo Allo, sadly we've been very hectic and have not been able to update the blog, but i suppose thats a sign we're having lots and lots of fun :) Since we all last chatted El and I have accomplished a lot... on the 19th we walked along the Seine trying to find a beach because supposedly they turn into beaches in the summer. After about and hour of searching we discovered that they don't turn into beaches till the 20th...ya tad embarrassing. Anywho, we decided we'd go to Notre Dame instead, and silly me thought there'd be a dress code so wore jeans and a shoulder covering shirt, keep in mind it was pushing 38 degrees that day...There was no dress code, we actually saw bootie shorts in front of the alter.
That afternoon Jo went to the Hotel Invalides to see Napoleans tomb and some other army memorobilia, very very cool. That night we sat under the Eiffel tower and felt quite Parisien sippping wine and munching on baguette (ps they actually love their baguette here, kinda funny).
Yesterday, we decided to take things easy and walk around for a bit, lying in the Jardins de Tulleries and walking along the Seine. Tanning under the Eiffel Tower is something everyone must try :) That afternoon, Jo went to the Pantheon and saw Marie Curie's tomb along with, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and the architect who actually designed the Pantheon. It was breathtaking to say the least.
Both the Harts and Max got in yesterday around four so we spent some time catching up and then that night had a picnic under the Eiffel Tower. We've met some really great people and are having an awesome time! Sadly we have to change hostels today which will be inconvenient but whatever, new setting new people :)
It's to the new place and then the Louvre, we'll try to keep updating but as the other location doesn't have free wifi we may not be as regular!
Lots of Love,
El and Jo
