We've been in Paris for about 2 days now so I'm going to start from the very beginning. We got to fly business class which was pretty awesome because we were treated like royalty. Of course it's a step down from first class but it's pretty much the same thing. It's a lot nicer than coach. The chairs recline almost all the way back so it's supposed to be easy to sleep and they gave us food all the time and drinks whenever we wanted them. We had our own personal T.V. and I watched the movie I Am Legend which was really good. It's about the last man on earth and all the food's gone. He has to hunt elk using a machine gun and protect himself against the evil human things. At first he had a dog to keep him company but then they kill his dog so he's alone. Later in the movie more humans come and think there's a place where tons of other human's are. The evil people attack right when he finds the cure to make them back in to normal people but when they keep coming he tells the other two to get in the safe so he blows up the creatures along with himself and no he doesn't come back to life or anything. The other two humans figure out there is a civilization with others so they take the potion (the cure to make the savages normal) and it's all happily ever after and everything. When we got to the airport it seemed really different because there were little tubes connecting you to different places and they ran on top of each other side by side and all that and they were moving walkways so you could just stand there and enjoy the view. The tubes were transparent all around so you could see all around you. The baggage claim seemed to be taking forever but they'd really just left them in Chicago. They were supposed to be delivered to our appartment today but they're still not here yet and are way overdue. My mom doesn't think they'll be able to find us because we're on a small street in a tiny appartment of many and I couldn't imgine finding it myself. We then got on the Metro which is a really fast train that takes you all over Paris. Of course there are so many trains that we sort of got lost and when we got out it was raining so it sort of sucked on the walk to our hotel. We were all mad at dad because we'd told him to get a taxi and he completely ignored us. When we finally got to the hotel we didn't have anything to change into because we didn't have our bags and we were really tired because of the time change. We were forced to stay up for an extra 12 hours so we got outside and went to the Arc of Triumph or the Arc de Triomphe. It was a lot bigger than I'd expected and we went under it. They had some fire going but we didn't stay long enough to find out why. On our way home we stopped by a bakery and got a few sweets and a Baget, the French bread. When we got back we didn't have any dinner for some reason but we were all tired and happy to go to bed. We also had a view of the Eiffel Tower which was pretty cool and we also had a view of it from the Arc of Triumph. Today we got up really late and went to our appartment. We went to lunch and ordered some stuff in French. I had an Italian bread with noodles, meat, and sauce in it which was really good. Isabel got a Crepe with cheese and eggs in it and I had a bite of it and it was way better than the ones we had in French class on food day. After that we went back to the appartment for a while and left again later leaving mom who was going to wait for our bags. We were trying to find a dry cleaning for dad but didn't find one and we stopped by McDonald's to get some juice because we were thirsty. Us kid's went in to get it and I did all the ordering and didn't even mess up. Now we're waiting in our appartment for the bags which still haven't come. Au Revoir.
