PARIS,FRANCE
Arrived in Paris yesterday via Airpolonia at 3:3PM. Took the RER train, line B, to Gare du Nord. So far so good. Then I made a right turn onto Rue Lafayette and walked about five blocks before realizing I should have turned left. I retraced my steps, but with the heavy load, I almost died right there. Crazy.
The room at Peace and Love hostel is so small. I was alone in room 4last night but today moved to room 1 and am sharing with two guys. I met one, Jamie. The room is so small that Jamie, slender as he is, has to suck in his stomach to let me pass when he was brushng his teeth at the basin.
Did a lot of walking, as usual.
Have more to say but am tired.
