Our Arrival in Paris!

Our Arrival:

We arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport around 7:30 am France time, 2:30 am Philadelphia time. All seriously tired and jet lagged, we retrieved our bags and met our tour guide Pamela, who led us to the bus we would take into Paris. Once settled in the bus, she gave us a historical background of the city, but most of us fell asleep mid-way through. Since check-in was at 2pm, we had loads of time to spare, so we made our way to the center of the city. The driver knew we were all utterly exhausted, so we stayed in the bus for the majority of the time, with the exceptions of walking around Champs Elysées, and the Eiffel Tower. Once 2pm arrived, we drove to our hotel, Hotel Cluny Square, anticipating the much needed rest. We were given the option to explore once we were settled, but only a few of us left the hotel. The rest stayed and took power naps. We knew that Ms. Perez told us to try and stay awake to get adjusted to the time difference, but it was definitely challenging!! At the end of the day, we all were excited to get some sleep, and couldn’t wait to explore Paris during the following couple of days!
