Day 1: Travel from London to Paris
Off I go again on another wild and zany adventure... ok maybe not as much as its a package tour run by a reputable company, but I'm very pumped about it! It's started out very well - the people are awesome. I've actually initiated converstations with others for once - I may just be coming out of my shell and being more social lol. Only time will tell.
It's amazing the amount of comraderie that being on a tour creates. I mean here we are, strangers who wouldn't normally speak to each other if they were sitting next to them on a bus, sitting around swapping stories like we've been life long friends within hours of meeting. Its also reinforced how poor my memory I have for names (shocking for a teacher, I know). Faces I'm fine with but names go in one ear and out the other. Perhaps we should institute a name tage practice. Though I suppose walking around a city with name tags on just screams "I'm in a tour group - easy mark!". I guess I just need to learn to pay attention better.
Amazingly I witnessed a person's first experience with coffee on the ferry to France. He decided to try a machiatto... I'll never forget that expression as he took his first sip - a perfect mixture of shock, surprise with a hint of disgust. Of course he now loves the stuff... another successful conversion I msut say.
Today we simply made our way from London to Paris and we're staying in a camp site. We did a drive through of Paris but we'll get a better look tomorrow on our free day. If you're curious, my itinerary can be found by clicking here. I'll try and update as often as reasonable.
