First Impressions of Paris, Age 15

Apres le diner, Mark and I walked around the hotel a little. We then came up to our rooms, and watched some really insane game show. U.S. TV is way ahead compared to the French. Mom and Dad then came in, saying they went to a small café where they were the only Americans. The people were super friendly to them, and they bought chocolat éclair – tres delicieux!
It looks really hazy outside, and the view from my window isn’t too hot. We aren’t in downtown Paris, but out in the boonies. I see a lot of kids riding bicycle-type scooters, and a lot of people walking around. We are on the eighth floor, so I can see pretty far. Where we are, the view looks like any other city, except this city is very old looking. Some cobblestone streets, but basically the buildings are really ancient.
I haven’t exercised my French know-how to any great extent so far, because mostly everything is written in French and English. Also, many of the French in this hotel speak a little English. So it’s really easy to get by.
