Bon Jour!
we are right now in paris. barcelona was very interesting. when we got there 24hrs of train later, they were out of hostels...we had cancelled our reservations a day before because we thought we werent gonna get there, but then we decided cause we had heard a lot about it...anyways we ended up having to get two rooms at a hotel for 50 bucks a person...ouch but better than on the street. we got some good spanish food, tapas, basically potatoes, but they were good, plus some other food. then we had about 24 hrs to blitzkrieg the city, like with ,any other cities before getting on our last night train to paris. barcelona was nice but like many places, i feel we didnt spend enough time to fully appreciate it.

so now we are in paris, back on schedule, and it is raining very hard. hopefully the weather will get better. tomorrow we are hopefully going to the dday beaches. this euro,keyboqrd is annoying me noz so im done typing;

goodbye;

Wow, you guys are crazy travelers. I am sure the 24 hour train ride was far from entertaining. Enjoy Paris. I love it there. I hope the rain stops for you. Wear your rain coats. How is the hotel? Pretty small? Don't forget the Touilleres(?) Gardens and go down that cute little street Ill St. Louis. There is a good ice cream shop. If you need the Leseiures e-mail address let me know but I believe they are in the states. Sending hugs and keep on truckin you guys. You will be back in the U.S. in one week...........Wow!!!

Wow is right.....glad you found a place to stay in Barcelona, I would really worry if you had to sleep on the streets!! Long train ride, but hope you were able to enjoy the country side a little. OH Paris..love it. Hope it stops raining, but you do have your rain gear. So much to see, if it is nice go to the TOP of the Eiffel tower, I chickened out and only went to the middle,beautiful!!! At night it twinkles..LOVE it. At least check out the front of the Moulin Rouge kinda cool. Hey, where is that Andrew...he hasn't posted anything in a long time, hope your feeling better son. As always enjoy, enjoy, enjoy be good to each other and stay safe....Love and hugs Mom Swan

What would life be if everything went off without a hitch - boring!!! Problem solving skills, glad you made it to Barcelona. Blitzkrieg??????? I get emotional thinking about the DDay beaches...say a prayer for the survivors - especially Bert (Dads old boss living in Idaho).

Hugs,

I was looking at your itinerary and noticed you will be at Hotel Opera soon...so I went to the website and there is a webcam! I think its of the courtyard or something. But Im looking at it now and I see that its raining and a lot of people are standing around,possibly waiting for a tour to begin. Its really cool. Everyone should check it out. http://www.hotel-opera.be/content_uk/Mainframeset.htm
