Paris: Day 1

We left Charlotte Saturday and arrived in Paris on Sunday (because of the time zone difference; Paris is 6 hours ahead of us). The 6 of us (Greg and I, Nate and Kristie, Steve and Carol) were pretty chill that first day there; I crashed for a couple hours and the rest of the group toured the resort we stayed at and nearby shopping.


Greg and Nate at the airport . . . (Nate read an entire 1,000+ page book during the week . . .) That's Freedom the dog chilling with them

Greg's "Russian Coke" on the plane

After everyone was rested up, we took a walk to Disneyland France, which was only about 10 minutes from our resort . . . We didn't see any characters, but we did get some authentic french fries from McDonalds.

And, finally, what would a stay in France be without a bidet . . . I'm pretty certain no one used it, but it was there, just in case =)

Thanks for posting, HIlary!! It's so fun to hear about your trip!! Glad you are safely home though...we got worried about you all Sat night when we went to bed with no sign of your car!!

I have to say that the bidet when turned on looks slightly terrifying....not exactly gentle;) I can't wait to see all your pictures!

I could totally see Nathan using the bidet! And when everyone else said they didn't use it, him feeling weird and not wanting to tell anyone! HA!
I want to hear all about it!
