Notre-Dame? Notre-Damn!

From the Plane to Parisian Apartment:

6: 00 pm -- Somewhere over Canada, Aurora is informed that she has left her wallet in Chicago.

6:30 pm -- The passengers of flight AA42 Chicago to Paris enjoy the movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth (first without headphones to test Brandon Frasier's acting abilities. He passed the test. Headphones on.)

6:35 pm -- Aurora doesn't eat because somebody didn't note that she is a vegetarian. (Thanks Apolline, thanks)

8:30 am -- We arrive in Paris.

8:50 am -- We realize and curse the hellish size of our luggage (2 fully stuffed bags each= 6 bags. One of which could include 2 corpses)

9:00 am -- We begin our adventure to Paris. Mission # 1 finding the RER (said way weirder in French)

9:20 am -- We find the RER, we buy tickets, we pass through the gates without the tickets-- we didn't need the tickets.

9:30 am -- The train arrives.

9:45 am -- Manage to get all of our "crap" into the train. Manage to annoy, and amuse the natives.

10:40 am -- Train arrives at Gare du Nord. Need to change trains. Try to find all of the elevators- there are none.

10:47 am -- Where's the next train? Tourists ask Maria and Aurora how to get to le blablaladha. Aurora and Maria don't know. Apolline has disappeared. The others fear the worst.

11:05 am -- Train arrives. Apolline, fearing the native's glances, breaks Maria's luggage in an effort to get the "crap" on board quickly. Convulsions of laughter are witnessed in the train. People question our sanity.

11:30 am -- Arrive at the station Saint-Michel. Aurora almost kills a native by hurling her luggage out of the train because we have 2 minutes to get 5 monsters out of the train (math sucks)

11:35 am -- Apolline suceeds in finding an escalator and in riding it with a huge bag.

11:35:15 am -- Maria fails at riding the escalator. See video for recap, if Maria were an old man with no luggage.



11:35:17 am -- Maria tries, but fails again

11:40 am -- Look for more escalators or elevators, oh no, only stairs. One by one, we carry those beasts up 2 flights of stairs. Breaking our backs and our souls in the process.

12:00 am -- First site of Notre-Dame; couldn't care less. Aurora, Maria and Apolline learn to "not know how to speak English" -- this ability requires giving money.

12:15 am -- Aurora almost gives up- others talk her through the hard times.

12:37 am -- Maria rolls through poop. Gross.

12:45 am -- Arrive at building. Leave bags in lobby, we just don't care. Contemplate burning all material objects, but fall asleep while deciding.

Time to start finishing finals...
