(in the next few entries i'd like to share with you some of the writings from my journal during my trip to france.  well, here it goes...)

port royale hotel
paris, france

just arrived in europe for the first time.  france has an interesting feel to it.  very diverse.  washington was very busy - we almost missed our flight.  murder factory this summer.  how much time do i have left?  i feel so disconnected from the people here.  and i hate museums.  after touring the washington mall and flying to paris, seeing the louvre, notre dame, etc. all in 30 hours, i am exhausted.

enjoyed riding the subway backwards into paris from charles de gaulle.  each stop was a microcosm of people groups.  some of the edges, it seems here, are the poor working classes.  graffiti absolutely everywhere.  how do i love these people?  i don't feel i can relate.  are there soup kitchens here?  i'm tired for now.  hopefully tomorrow will bring more meaningful thoughts.
