leaving Paris

So tommorow i leave paris. I have had an absolute blast here though. Ive met so many really nice people from all over the world, a girl from Sicily, more Aussies than you can shake a kangaroo, and aboot a metric ton of canucks, a guy from Boston (who we call Boston) and some girls from SoCal and some from Mass. All great people, we have been going off and seeing the city together in different groups.
I went to the Eifel tower twice, went to the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa and today i went and saw the Moulin Rouge, apparently its something like 150 bucks just to get in. I also went and saw Notre Dame de Paris, with its amazing flying buttresses and all of that jazz along with the spiral where the Victor Hugo's hunchback was supposed to have lived. I even got to see on the tour the Opera house where the phantom resides below. So much history happened here. Jim Morrison's grave is here in Paris as well. There is just so much!
Pictures will be up soon. i just dont have a lot of time to load them all. Tommorow i leave for Dublin, some of the people i met here will also be going so im for sure going to have friends everywhere.
When i first got into Paris i went to my hostel room and starting writing, i got a little bit of a cold and wasnt sure if i was going to make it on my own in Europe for 2 months. Then i met my roommates, two of the Aussies. It is so fun being out here being able to go out and do my own thing but also meeting random people on a metro and being able to have a friend. There are so many tourists here i think it is amazing, it does nothing but enhance this place.
The buildings here are all so old and so majestic.


caio for now
