Peace Out, Paris!

We didn't set the alarm for the next morning but Katie woke up early anyway because she was sick. Boo! We had a lazy morning, and went to the laundromat to wash clothes. We grabbed a couple of crepes with Nutella and Banana (YESSSSS!!!!) and met a couple of Americans. One lady was from Newport Beach where she lived on a boat, and now she lives here in Paris, on a boat. Another guy was here for a work conference, and staying a couple of extra days for fun.
After our laundry was done, we headed to the Museum of Picasso, which to our luck is closed until October 24th for renovation. Grr! Instead we headed for the Pantheon. Luckily, that wasn't closed. In fact, it was pretty amazing! A lot cooler than we thought it would be.
We grabbed a metro back towards Max's, mailed some postcards, and packed our bags. We checked our email and Nicole called her mom (Hi Mama and Papa Etter!) Then we headed for the train station to grab our overnight train.
We cut our stay in Paris short a day, but not because we wanted to. It was an amazing city - there were just a couple of unforseeable circumstances. Our sleeper train was definitely petite! About an 8' x 8' space for 6 people. Our room only had four people though. We figured it was the best way to spend the 12 hour train ride: by sleeping!

Mmmmm...nutella and banana. :)

Hmmmmm..."unforeseeable circumstances." ;)

Yes, I remember how small those couchettes are. But you're right...sleeping is always better than the alternative. ;)
