Paris is beautiful (April 7th)
Paris is beautiful.
For the first time in my life I awoke in Paris. And after a long, refreshing sleep I was ready--WAIT! THERE WAS NO LONG, REFRESHING SLEEP IN THIS STORY!
You see, to get through Europe on a budget, especially the one that Team Cheap Bastards is on (that is Jordan and I) you have to stay in hostels that have any where from 6 to 12 beds in them. Well, n this unmomentous occasion, we were in a six person room. And as it turns out one of them happened to be awesome at SNORING THE LOUDEST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! Along with that highly pleasant volume was the MOST GROSS, SNOT LACED INHALE OF A SNOR EVER!
The snore was coming in so loud and clear that you would think it was actually you that were snoring this snore. Turns out it is just Dante’s 4th Level of Hell. If you would like to recreate this sleepless night, all you need to do is listen to a Moose, a Yak, an Ostrich, and a harpsacord played by a F5 Tornado.
This NOISE is UNFORGETABLE!!!!! UNFORGETTABLE!!
To better moments…and that is where Luke comes in.
Luke is the type of man Jordan and I would be if we were men…wait a second…actually I can’t speak for Jordan. But Luke was our tour guide on the greatest free tour of Paris you will ever be on!
That is right it is free (you can tip at the end if you want and we did) and if you are traveling though Europe make sure to Google them to see if they are in a European City near you.
Anywho, Jordan and I saw everything you ever want to see in Paris in 3.5 hours. All guided by the dreamy Luke. And what makes him so dreamy you ask…well, it is his fountain of knowledge that the springs out like the fat kid on the diving board at your local pool.
If you ever want to hear the entire history of Paris in under five minutes, Luke is the man for the job. That was an amazing whirlwind of five minutes that every one should hear. Wow!
Now, I am not going to tell you about everything we saw or the amazing stories you have never heard before, because they would take up pages and pages. But be sure to ask when we are back. There is a great Hitler and Napoleon story that will send shivers up your spine.
Once night fell, Jordan and I headed for the most visited tour attraction in the world…the Eiffel Tower. We took the lift up to the top and viewed Paris from its highest point.
Have I mentioned that Paris is beautiful?
And the beauty of Paris is that from any angle, it is just as beautiful. Whether you are standing in the rain looking up at the Arc de Triumph or standing in the Sun on the very spot where the last Templar Knight was burned at the stake or you are standing under the Moon on the Eiffel Tower looking down at the carefully designed city edifice…It will make you forget all the unforgettable noises of your life.
