Day 13 - Pickles at Last!


We had to leave Nico’s loft today but not until early afternoon. So we slept in a bit and then figured out how to get to the next place we were staying. Our next host was Florence. David found her on Warmshowers.com which is a website for cyclists to find warm showers on the road of course! Of course we got lost on the way there too! We spent most of the day moving and figuring out how to find her place. Florence was super nice and immediately inviting. We went upstairs and she gave us water, talked to us a bit about our travels, and gave us some maps of Paris. She was very helpful and we were very appreciative of her letting us stay. Her loft is really cute. One room and a bathroom with a balcony. She lives by herself but has a boyfriend. We left after a bit and found our way to the Eiffel Tower. I thought it was kind of cool and not that tacky like David thinks. There were a lot of people but we found a spot of grass to eat our victory jar of pickles! On the way to the Tower we passes a McDonalds on every corner. Whenever we need a McDonalds there isn’t one. When we’re lost, there isn’t one to be found. Ridiculous. Also on the way to the Eiffel Tower we passed the Moulin Rouge and David misses it so we have to go back - or maybe just did because we got a little lost again... That evening we made penne pasta in an oil sauce with spinach, basil, onion, garlic, and tomatoes. YUM!
