An American in Paris

Through an interesting situation I was given a free ticket to go to Paris tomorrow. All I had to pay for was a ticket to get back, so for 40 pounds I’m going to spend Saturday afternoon, all day Sunday, and Monday morning in the city of love. My goal is to see the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Musee d’Orsay, the Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame. If that wasn’t enough of a challenge, my further goal is to spend no more than 50 Euro the entire weekend through arriving back at the house Monday afternoon. I actually think I can do this because I don’t plan on going in Notre Dame, will just do stairs at the Eiffel Tower, and if I can pass myself off as an art student, or as a 17 year old, entrance to the d’Orsay and the Louvre will be free. In keeping with the spirit of the title of this post (or at least its namesake), I will be videotaping snippets of this journey, and may randomly burst into song at any given moment. Expect there to be many pictures, many stories, and many strange experiences to share Monday night!
