Today was France’s Labor day. + Lazily woke up and ate breakfast. + Patrick gave Severine and Amy the traditional flower on May 1. Cute little bell flowers that Amy really liked but she already forgot the name. Severine! Help! + Lazily worked on booking hotels for the rest of the trip. + Relaxed. + Panicked when we realized our early flight out of Paris was out of a budget airport that is 55 miles north of Paris… We figured out their bus system to the airport (basically, there’s a bus 3 hours and 15 minutes before your flight. Ours just happened to be at 8AM, so the bus would be there at 4:45AM. The metro doesn’t start until 5! We contemplated sleeping at the airport, but we read online that it was a horrible airport to sleep in. Patrick convinces his brother Julien to let Patrick borrow their car to drive us to the bus station. Thanks Julien! + Watched a 4 hour Indian movie. Amy danced. Everyone shava shava!

note: I think neither of us took a photo this day! A French Labour day miracle!

We’ve been wanting to update the blog during our “rest” in Paris. We have been trying to keep track of all our photos and stories, but it’s been difficult to find time to write/post. Don’t worry though they are coming. At some point!

Right now we’re in Paris and on Saturday we’re going down to Spain to kick off our second month of travel!
