We're in Paris! It's kind of gray here... and cooler than Spain. Last night I didn't get to the hotel until about 8:30 I think - there was a lot of traffic from the airport. I arrived at the hotel at the same time as a few others from the opera.
The hotel is cool - contemporary with LED mood lighting, both in the rooms and hallways. It's just a couple blocks from the Arc de Triomphe which is a very nice location except the metro line we're on is having troubles.
Last night we had to rush rush to meet Florencia for dinner because kitchens close around 10 pm here - as opposed to Spain when that's when a lot of people are just heading out for dinner! Our train stopped halfway there (and dumped us right at Moulin Rouge) so we took a cab the rest of the way and made it just in time to have a simple but delicious roasted chicken dinner with these AWESOME round, flat french fry type things that had garlic on them, salad and we all got dessert. I got a creme brulee, Florencia got a coconut cake and Jose got this thing I can't remember the name of - it's like meringue in a pool of creme and caramel.
We walked around for a little bit - Flo and I are going to hang out for some before the opera while Jose rehearses and then she'll go see it - I'll probably walk around somewhere or go to a museum that she suggested.
