The plane trip was nice. 10hrs but got some sleep. Mom was walking in the people mover so slow that I was passing her on the floor beside her. Took the RER from the airport to Gare d Nord train station where we transfer to Metro. That's where my plan went down!
The station is under construction an to get anywhere you have to go up and down stairs. They're everywhere. I had to carry Mom's 50# suitcases and it was killing me. And if I went the wrong way and we had to go back, she was mad. What about me?
So we get to the hotel and they had an elevator but for only one person at a time or suitcase only. We got to the 4th floor ((which is 5th in Europe). Then the guy says he felt sorry for us and gave us a bigger room on the first (2nd). Great. But the elevator is broke on the 1st floor. Pictures of this thing to follow.
Now we're heading out to the night bus tour, open top. Mom should like that but I have to wake her. She's out!
Pics tomorrow when we have more time but all is well, sort of. Oh, we ate at a sidewalk cafe. I had French onion soup with cheese in France and Mom had a salad. Then we walked to the Eiffel Tower two blocks away from hotel.
I'm gonna wake her now.

OK. We went on the open top bus at night around Paris. It's very beautiful. People are out and about and it's after midnight here right now. We've been up since 4:30am Thursday. We rode the Metro train to the bus and back with no problems but that's without luggage of course. Tomorrow it's Segway, Eiffel Tower and Seine boat cruise. Also hang out at the cafes.
Good night all,

Scarlett Thomas Mom emailed a few sentences today. She wanted me to let everyone know that they are having a blast. However are having a few difficulties not sure what those are as of today's date. I hope it's not the fact that I drained all their accounts and they are short on money. Lol. In any event they said they have limited access to Internet so hard to update their posts. Once they get in a better location they will write more. Hope all is well in Castro Valley! Queenie....
Ange monte Hope you two are having a blast! Thinking of you!!
