[By Leah and Mariah]
The apartment group was waiting by the metro stop for the hostel group to show up when this little French man comes up to us and starts speaking in rapid French. Thankfully Madame Danielson was there to translate for us. He gave us all a smile and then left. Since we had no idea what he was saying, we were all just saying, "Oui!" or just laughing along cause we had absolutely no idea what he was saying. And when he left we all turned to Madame Danielson and asked, "What did he say? What did he say?"
"He said he fought with the Americans against the Japanese--and also that 'The sun is rising, and that the sun is in your heart.' Imagine some old man in America coming up to you and saying that! Leah loved it.
The day before that we met a man that changed our lives forever. We named him Louis. He was a poor little hobo who had gotten wet in the down pour of the rain. We were waiting for our metro to Saint-Denis when we noticed this rather petite man. He was standing by the metro holding his jacket coat open, facing the metro, holding it with one hand. We thought this was hilarious, so we played a guessing game to see what he was doing, then we guessed that when the metro went by that he was drying his coat or that he was holding his coat open because he wanted a hug. I think we all got pictures of him.
