Entry lag. I could blame it on moving apartments and the lack of Internet involved in the transition but really I've just been lazy. For some reason chocolat chaud, les baguettes, les mecs et les adventures have been distracting me (and by adventures I mean using the metro late at night/early morning and watching a very drunk Spanish 50 year old get on the metro looking wheezy and taking bets on how long it would take her to vomit. I voted the shortest at one minute and let's just say I was the closest, it didn't take long..) There is definitely something about being crammed in a small moving tube with lots of other people on a hot, humid night with the sound of someone throwing up and seeing vomit roll towards you on the ground that puts a serious down buzz on the evening (or does the opposite if you're a certain someone who has an extremely bizarre and slightly worrisome fetish for vomit, won't name names but they're from their eastern corner of the world. Typical.)
This was coupled with the fact that we were returning from Paris' equivalent of the red light district (don't ask how we ended up there. Long story) where we were repeatedly asked if we wanted to watch sex shows (and as the places got dodgier, asked if we wanted to join the sex shows.)
Followed by a day planned for Chantilly then realizing we had read the train timetable completely wrong, deciding instead to take a spontaneous trip to London then realizing we didn't have our passports and finally settling on a visit to the cemetery Pere Lachaise which was actually really cool (and really boiling, they didn't need to use the crematorium that day.)
One more class today which I'm 90% percent sure I will fall asleep in after staying up to such an hour that morning joggers were beginning to appear. Then at 10pm it's time to board the bus for Munich!! 12 hour journey and we arrive at the famed Oktoberfest!
I can feel my beer belly already.
