Baguette's for Everyone!

You'll all be happy to hear that you are not the only ones getting rain. :)
It's Paris though, so I'm still better off.

Today I didn't do too much, it's Sunday and except for tourist locations, everything was closed. That's pricey. So I wandered around for a bit, ended up hitting a market.

The market stunk like fish. Aside from that it was pretty cool, your average farmers market, but still awesome. One lady wanted to take a picture of the fish guys (I can't find the word for this... vendor possibly). Anyway the fish dudes posed quite hilariously while shaking their dead fish around. It was interesting.

Other than that though, not a lot. Yesterday was a stop at the Louvre and it's gardens. Didn't go into the Louvre yet, as the line was long and it started pouring while wandering through the gardens.

Wandered through an area containing some of the designer shops. Including Chanel. I love Chanel. So of course I stood at the windows and daydreamed for a bit before wandering on.

The hostel is a pretty cool place. Everyone staying here is a lot of fun, and most evenings are spent having a few beers chillin' in the kitchen with everyone.

We tried playing poker one night but since no one wants to bet what little spending cash we have, we just used bottle caps. Since the bottle caps didn't count for anything, whenever someone went out, they just stole some from other people to get back in. Worst game of poker ever, but still fun.

One of the guys staying here from Germany has his guitar, and is pretty at playing. He played a bunch of songs the other night we all knew and everyone was singing along. It's pretty cool.

Today I went to the Louvre, and walked around there for over three hours. There is quite a bit to see. 

Other than that, I haven't really done much. It was supposed to rain, but it only did really early this morning, other than that, just a little gloomy. Good thing it didn't rain to, I spent an hour in line for the Louvre, and I still haven't broken down and bought an umbrella yet. :)

Now I'm quite tired. So I'm just going to chill at the hostel tonight, eating my cookies, probably having some of my cheap wine I picked up at the supermarket. The trick to surviving on a budget in Paris, is not going out to eat. The hostel has a kitchen so I can make my own food. Yay! And by make, I mean make sandwiches, because that's about all the skill I have.

Peace&Love
