This past month has been crazy. We left Branson came back to Tulsa for a week where we tried to see everyone we possibly could before hopping on a plane to Paris, France. I write from Paris.
Were are in our third and final week in Paris. We have couchsurfed stayed in a very nice B&B. Spent a week in a hostle and now we are spending the next three days in a hotel. Each one has had its ups and downs. Here is my views on each.
Couchsurfing: I have had many great experiences couch surfing. This one wasn't the best. I did not realize from all my corrispondences with him that he would actually be sharing a bed with us. There was not enough room on that be for three and it was more than a bit akward. Best thing about couchsurfing is its FREE!
The B&B: This is the best place we have stayed so far. Along with a wonderful room we got a very nice breakfastand good conversation. This is by far my favorite place we stayed. We came back one night to find them drinking wine and laughing and they asked if we would like to join. That night goes down as one of my favorites on this trip. A B&B runs about 30€ per person/per night
Hostel: I did not get a good impression when we first checked in. The woman at the desk asked us to wait 10mins until her shift was over so another person could check us in. Then the Man that did check us in was not very nice about it. We had a room for 3 people and every night there was a different person and they wouldn't check in until around 2 in the moring and I would have to wake up to open the door for them because there was only one key. There was a free breakfast but it was nothing fancy and you had to be out of the room from 11 to 4 everyday so they could clean. The hostel is the cheapest in town we spent 15€ per person/per night
The Hotel: It lives up to its name "Perfect Hotel". It truly is perfect. The people who work there are amazingly nice. When we walked in the door we were greeted with a smile which I find is hard to come by in Paris. We realized we had one more night in the hostel and no place to stay the next night. We found this place in ,y travel book I bought and found it online and tried to reserve a room. The form they had online was just a request form so we thought it better to just go there in person. She had a room avaliable for the first night which she reserved for us but there was not a room for the second. She told us she would do everything in her power to get us a room for all four nights we wanted to stay there. We came to check in the next day and she had done just what she said. The room is beautiful complete with a balcony. The free breakfast that comes with the room is wonderful with wait service and everything. At 28€ per person/per night you also can't beat the price most hostels are more expensive than that!
All and all this trip has gone very well and I look forward to telling all my friends and family about our adventures in Paris.
