Houston to Paris

Well, we qre going to have to skip the last week and a half...so we found a place in houston at the sabine street lofts which are very urban with a skate park across the street for hoyt to continue reliving his youth and then we made our way to NY where we had sushi with allison before boarding the airplane to paris...our first couple of days have already been quite amusing especially setting off the hotels fire alarm...

Yes, it turns out that even with an adapter a straightner is a little too much energy...damn enviros...hoyt was downstairs at the time and came back up to a smokey room and two fireman who knew very little english...I reptively said 'je na sais pas' and they smiled and shrugged as well...we also saw the catacombs, eiffel tower, erotica museum, dali museum, strolled through the markets, gathered lots of yummy food for a picnic and have been enjoying ourselves thouroughy. Today, we slept until 11 and then made our way to versailles where the gardens were too tempting so we had a picnic and ended up missing the last tour of the inside of versailles b!c it turns out that it is a long way around those ponds and although we ran most of it we still missed it - oh well...we always have the movies...VA KAY SLOAN SLOAN is needless to say superb so far so keep tuned in for more...big hugs.

I hope the catacombs did not disappoint! Too bad about missing the inside of Versailles. Now you have an excuse to go back. Can't wait to see your next post!
