some differences

there are many cool things that i am seeing here. people are so friendly and the food is delicious. we are loving the relaxed nature of everyone here, its something you can feel as soon as you step off the train.

one huge difference between both london and paris and the US is that you can't go anywhere without walking up and down 15 flights of stairs, and i am not exagerating.. god bless the person that invented the escalator, they must have been american. i am in a constant state of sore. i really have no movement at all in my normal day. this is shocking my body, yesterday i felt as though my legs were breaking from the inside out. today is not that bad, but i still shuffle along the sidewalks like a cripple, but i did feel better after i washed down my IBs with a pot **50ml** of red wine with lunch. luckily i am able to shuffle along here cause parisians are in no hurry to get anywhere..

we've really had only one rude experience so far. we tried to eat at a little cafe off the beaten path and the woman wanted us to squeeze into a bench area, and the table next to us was no more than 3 inches away. MK asked them to excuse her but they ignored her.. we decided to leave, plus we could barely see each other through the smoke anyway.

mk has something to say..

she is in heaven with all the chocolate, wine and cheese **even though she refuses to drink here, i feel like i am in ireland again, amendendment, she had a glass of wine, once***
