Lille vol 2

Bonjour

After a good night of sleep we went out to look around town for a bit. Walked up to the town square and tried to find some good spots to see. Found a few shops as well, where we picked up some groceries. Once back at "home" we prepared our favorite dish that has no name. This time we used veggies, rice noodles and some meat.

A lot of our time was spent on trying to find someone to stay with in Paris. Apparently it is not the easiest thing to do. Lots of people travel there and good hosts probably get tons of requests all the time. But we will not give up and are sure that we will find a good host to stay with.

Steven is such an awesome host that he even offered us some tickets to go to the cinema. As we are in France, the obvious decision was to see a French movie, even though we don't understand French. It was called "Paris Manhattan" and it was pretty good. It even had Woody Allen in it, so fortunately there was some English as well :)

We had planned to head out to Paris on Thursday already, but by the end of the day we still hadn't found a spot there. Fortunately Steven was kind enough to offer us a chance to stay with him for one more night. Thank you Steven :)

We will spend Thursday being busy with searching for someone great to stay with while in Paris. In the evening there's an CS event happening here in Lille, so we will go check that out. It will be a  productive day :)

Note of the day: If you want to travel in Paris by CS, be prepared to spend a lot of time on it!
