Nous avons arrive!

Pronounced: nooz ah-von ah-ree-vay
Means: WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Bullet points since we have limited internet time:
- The trip was gloriously boring. No delays, no lost bags, no annoying adjacent passengers, no turbuloso turbulence... Thanks to all who prayed for travel mercies-- it was wonderfully uneventful!

-...Except when I accidentally entered the country in London during our layover, which meant Heidi had to enter it too, which meant we had to go BACK through security, but not before getting hopelessly lost in the mad maze that is Heathrow. So much for being the experienced traveller. Whoops!

- Heidi drank, YES DRANK (SPU lifestyle expectations are NO MORE!!) a mini bottle of wine on the plane! And was adorably dizzy afterwards. Ma francais mission: help her grow her tolerance just a teeny bit.

- Our hostel is clean and the people are friendly. It is also across the street from a sex shop, called 'No Taboo.' Heidi and I intend to give it a thorough going-over tomorrow.

- Supposed to rain tomorrow- awesome. But whatever-- we're in Europe, so we will be rained on in fabulous french phrases.

Thanks to all who are commenting-- I think that will be the easiest way to keep in contact with folks, through the posting and commenting, so please keep it up! :)
