Paris Metro Queen!
I had a whirlwind of a morning commute! So I left for work this morning at 9. The metro station is one block over and at the beginning of another its less than 5mins to walk. The train I take is the 4 (usually a 15min ride) then that transfers to the 3 (less than 5min ride) and I'm at my internship in 30mins easy peasy right? WELL this morning I got to my regular train and saw that it was delayed then an announcement (in French none the less) came over the PA and said something and all I could understand was "reamure-sebastopol" and "Odeon" which are the 2 stops I needed so I had to leave the station walk back towards my house but then go a block to the left where the 12 train is and wait for that and take it one stop down to Sevres-Babylone transfer to the 10 train and take that to Odeon. I got off at Odeon and was going to take that to Chatlet (which connects to like 5 different trains that could get me back to the 4 to get to work) Well I guess I didn't listen well enough because the 4 train was blocked off by police and tape. So I had to go back to the train I just got off of took that to the next stop which was the RER (which is like the NICER train its basically the Metro and I take the subway lol) So I got on that took it to Chatlet walked to the 4 hopped on had 3 stops to go. FINALLY got to Reamure-Sebastopol then transfered to the 3 and arrived at my stop which is Quartre-Septembre. It took me a whole hour! Luckily when I got to work my boss wasn't there cuz he had a meeting but he doesn't overreact to lateness cuz the one intern is always late.
That was my entertainment for the morning :) Yesterday was Mardi Gras here so I went and met up with 2 of the people from the program and we had dinner at Indiana. Its my favorite restaurant hands down! I can get a burger or tacos or enchiladas or fried chicken and they have happy hour! So I had 2 tequila sunrises last night. I drank them pretty quickly I think I'm adjusting to the taste of it haha uh-oh! Todays the first day of lent and I guess its tradional to fast so I'm gonna have dinner with them again since their host families arn't eating lol I feel like I should find a church..
