The Shortest Night and the Longest Day


Well the program finally has begun and with a little of a rocky start. I left for the airport early Friday morning, and until the time that I went to bed on Saturday night, this long day had become one the most tiring of my life. My second flight from Seattle to Paris left at 1 15 PM and than arrived in Paris the next day at 8 AM. A huge time swing that required flying throughout the whole night. The night could have only lasted a couple hours as I remember the sun setting as I was dosing off. I woke up later to one of the most resounding sunrises I have ever seen. As we came into the airport it was unfortunate to find out that the train that we need to take into actual Paris was closed. But luckily after a bus, two trains, and a walk with all of or luggage we finally made it to the hotel. The whole time walking up to the hotel we talked of a shower just to find out we had to wait 5 more hours to check in. But than Dr. Murphy, our professor who had already been in Paris several days, took us up into his hotel to find this view. 




It made the whole day not seem so bad
