Today I took the metro by myself to meet everyone at 5:30 at the opera stairs before dinner at a bistro. Orane called to give me directions which I quickly wrote down and spelled totally wrong. I made it just fine across town though, even though I had to ask a woman in the street who spoke no English which direction the Opera was. We were able to communicate somehow and she corrected me on my pronunciation of Opera, of course.

We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and looked down. Jake and I discussed geneology and religion as we squeezed our heads through the fenced squares and looked down. Later we took a boat ride along the Seine River and I saw Notre Dame. We went scoping out crepes afterward, but everything closed at midnight.

Goodnight.
