Bonsoir!

I am in Paris standing at the 'bar section' of a coffee shop (cuz it's cheaper) with smoke from the patron next to me wafting over. Terrible flight in. Thunder and tornadoes in Chi town made me miss my flight, but two cool kids from CA and got a flight to Frankfurt and eventually to Paris. However, half my luggage didn't make it. Missed check in at the hostel, had to wander for two hours and pay 90 euros for a hotel room. Bleah! but I'm here and being an ugly American, whoo hoo! Should see Liene tonight or tomorrow.
