Amber:  I've already been to Paris and I really want to show Garrett around.  I already know exactly what I want him to see, and I have a few places I never got to see, even in the 5 weeks that I spent in Paris.

 

I know you've already seen pictures of the well known sites.  But here are some unknown travel tips I've learned about Paris.

 

This is an Etap hotel.  Please note the luxurious iron bunk bed, the plasma tv in the corner, and the lovely puke colored bed spread.  Well, young married couples can't be picky, and it is a good place to stay.  The best part is the continental breakfast in the morning, complete with croissants and nutella.

The way to get around affordably is definitely by metro.  We would do a week and a half to two week trip, and we'd need to pick up a pass for that amount of time.  Passes rock, they can get you unlimited train rides (which is a must for me, because I always get lost looking for stuff, sometimes on purpose)  and bus rides.  The map looks confusing, but it makes a lot more sense when you are using it. 

This is one reason to ride the metro.  Free entertainment and crazy beggars.

  

I'm very adventurous, and I'm not afraid to explore new places or foods.  There are a lot of cool places in Paris that no one knows about.  For example, the Jewish Quarter, where I ate this delicious falafel.  There are so many delicious things to eat and cool things to see.  Hopefully I can show Garrett some fun things like that.
