Bon Voyage and Paris

Sara and I are sitting in the Dullus airport. A man on the plane had some heart trouble so he had to be assisted off the flight by some EMTs. Then in Washington they offered for us to stay the night there, we decided e opportunity cost exceeded the marginal benefit and boarded our plan to Paris.

We arrived at 11:30, took the B line into the city and arrived at Xavier's (my Parisian friend/ foreign exchange student) around 12:30. We had lunch (stuffed tomatoes in a cream sauce over rice or in Sara's case just a cafe) at a local brasserie and emailed Xavier to let him know we hd arrived. Apparently there was some mix-up with when we were arriving so they weren't expecting us. Luckily, Xavier's brother Benjamin (try saying it with a French accent and it becomes an exponentially more entertaining name) was at the apartment to let us in. After a stroll around town and down the Champs, we met Xavier for dinner at a local restaurant at 9:30. My lamb was fantastic served over a yellow substance I couldn't identify.

The Xavier offered to take us on a driving tour of Paris. We hit most of the touristic parts but at 1:00AM we decided it was late enough and called it quits for the night.
