Day two a view for you

Today has been like a cool breeze on a hot day. I have been staying at the hostel with 3 other girls. The hostel is really nice. I still cant get over hearing french! today we visited Notre Dame. it is such a beautiful place. some of the girls got to go up to the top of Notre dame. the others went shopping. the metro has become an indispensable resource. we take it everywhere. you go up and down the stairs a dozen times a day. we are all expecting to lose weight with the amount of walking we do! we went to a cafe called pomme du pain , it was very tasty, yet healthy. it was on champs elysees; l'arch de triumph is at the end of that street. six lanes of traffic and the french just walk right on out. its amazing. i have spoken a little bit of french to a cashier, but other than that, not much french has been used yet.
a interesting encounter with the french metro security scared us a little. we had not filled out our metro passes yet , and when the stopped us we were threatened with a 25euro fine. per person. fortunately we got out of it. we must have looked so dumb to them.
pepsi has been a commodity that is hard to find for poor Mr Phillips( he absolutely hates coke) thats what most cafes serve.
we rode the metro to the Eiffel tower, and walked a lot just to get there. when we got there we found out that it is impossible to get to the top of the tower except on sun-sat. it was disheartening- but we got to watch it light up from underneath. then we walked some more... and got back to champs Elysee's and split up to go shopping.
i know this is long, but this is my thoughts of the day section.

1. don't watch life from a camera lens
2. don't forget to be still and look for God
3. maps are good things :-)
