Bonjour!

Bonjour from Paris!

First of all, this post has the potential to be quite short due to the French keyboard I am typing on, so if there are any odd misspellings, I apologize in advance.

Well...turns out Hilary brought the good weather with her, it has been super hot the whole time we have been here, maybe a bit too hot considering our reddened cheeks and pink sholders.

Our apartments that we are staying in are supposed to have internet but it turns out our laptops do not speak the same language as the wifi connection (or we are just dumb) so we are currently in an internet cafe a little way down the street from where we are staying.

Likewise, sorry if this post lacks the quirky, semi-nonsensical way i usually post/talk- this darned computer is making typing some sort of a mental test I forgot to study for.

Anyways,

Got my score from Statistics back (finally) and I passed with flying colors (does that saying make sense to anyone anymore? Flying colors, sounds like you are tripping on acid or something, which would not hint towards any sort of academic success...I digress)

Basically, our time here has been fun. We are avoiding touristy places (but still walking by, taking pictures quickly, and then blending back into the Parisian crowd...or as blended as two English speaking, staring-and-pointing Americans can be).

My keyboard has the 'µ' sign in a prevalent position, but not the '.' (period) button (requires a shift-key to get to it).

Let's go on a strange key quest!

§ ¤ ² ° £ ¨ `

all of these keys are in common positions...how often is someone going to use the 'squared' key ('²') in common type? Or why in the hell would they use it more often than the period button... France...please try to make more sense. Merci.

Oh golly sucks darn family, just typing this much has taken me thirty minutes (although I blame that on Hilary being next to me, and my persistant conversation with my keyboard, questioning its motives in messing with my head.)

On a different note, tomorrow we will hide from the sun (and give our tired bodies a break) and wander through the catacombs (yay dead people!) and then perhaps find some artsy places or something equally lovely. Also, I should write a book on how to see Paris in a week on the budget of a homeless person. One word. Skillz. (do the French not end their sentences in periods or something? Come on! Stupid shift, then '.' )

I should stop complaining now. 2² (one last thing- I have to shift for the '2' button, but not for the '²'??? AAAAAHHHHHH)

Okay, we will go be Frenchy now, sans the dumb keyboards.

Nighty Night...or...Good afternoon?
