rain rain go away

So here we are sitting in barcy train station in paris right now. I figured I'd throw an update of how paris went. when we first got here it was beautiful and the museums were free so we took advantage and went to the louvre and dorsay. Then went to the arc du triumph. Next day went pn a 3,5 hour walking tour and saw preTy much all the sights in paris. Worst part was that it rained all day. So when we got back to the hostel everyone just took a nap. The girls planned on going on a pub crawl but were "too tired." Round 925 I looked outside and it was some what nice so luke and I decided to wake the girls and head to the eiffel tower. Seeing as we are poor we tokk the stairs to the second level and got some good pics. After that luke had his first crepe experience which he loved. I had my first nutella experience which was delish.where has it been all my life? So next day we walk from the hostel to see more sights and mostly this big white church pn top of the hill. I'm terrible with names and spelling other languages so I'm not going to try. That night the girls planned again on doing the pub crawl. And again they ended up not going. Mean while luke and I decided to get some french wine and drink in the room and people watch the crowded street below. Since the girls still wanted to go out they headed to a bar down the street. Luke and I polished off our 3 bottles of wine only to get to the stairway and see a friend from cornell. Wally was on club lax with us last year and was staying in the same hostel. So we meet him a few min later in the common area of the hostel where he was playing kings with some girls. Luke and I joined in but obviously only after finishing the vodka that was left in our room from the previous guests. Shady but it worked. After kings we went o the bar up the street with wally and the other girls from the hostel. Apparently I fell somewhere in the bar and have a huge bruise on my side,but the night continued. This again is where shit got fuzzy. Apparently I stole a grolsh beer flag from the first bar and then followed a girl to a different bar, where luke came soon after to see me doing my first and likely last shot of absinthe. This is where again I split with luke. He stayed and made out with some french girl while I apparently pursued another to a different bar. Next thing I remember is being at the louvre at 340am. After taking a quick pic I proceeded to try and find my way back to the hostel. This failed miserably so I called my brother and had him google map me to the hostel. 42 min and 42$ later I was back to the hostel. Apparently it was a good night. Other than that today was more relaxing as we only went to a church close by then to the arc again to get some quick pictures. Next stop is venice for my birthday where it will possibly rain again for the entire time. As I write this it seems as thouth the blue skys are starting to roll in. Figures just hope we get to venice without the rainy skys following. Alright that's it for now. I love how all of these are mostly just my drunken tales so far, but someone has to update this jaunt. -Andrew
