Oh what a day it has been! Today I decided to go to Paris and tour around! Well Fred took me to the train station around 9:20 and went inside with me to help me buy the ticket! (you can get a ticket that allows you to ride the train, the metro, and the bus!!) anyways, he shows me the next train is at 9:36 and says goodbye! I go out on the platform and around 9:31 the train comes, so I hop on it and only see 2 other people... Weird. Then the doors close and I look up to see destination: not Paris! Hahaha immediately I laughed because at that point there was nothing else I could do except take this train wherever it may go! Thankfully we arrived at the next station in 10 min, so it wasn't too far out of the way! But I was the only person at the train station -_- it was insane. And the little board said "San arrive" which with my Spanish I thought meant "not arriving"! So I just sat there waiting... Finally a train worker came outside (she didn't speak English... Or Spanish...) so I said "Paris?" and pointed to the tracks I was planning to take. After she confirmed that - I pointed to my wrist with a questioning look on my face. She looked at the board and said something I didn't understand except "diez nurf" thankfully I had learned my number so I knew that was 19! Weather it was 19 mins or 19:00 (7pm) I didn't know! So I just sat there... Around 10 I saw a train and was so relieved!!! Until it didn't stop... :/ but soon after that the board switched to "10:19" and then I realized what the lady had meant. I got back to my original station at 10:30... Exactly an hour after I had started going the wrong way! Hahaha I'm just glad I figured it out this morning instead of getting lost tomorrow when I need to be at the train station to get to Germany!! I finally arrived in Paris at 11:10 and took the underground (which actually goes above ground) to the eiffel tower!! :)
Yeah, it's huge...
Me on the second floor!! :)
And that concludes the first half of my day!! :)
