Paris

The first conversation i had with my roommate in my Paris hostel started with learning that he had helped to rob a bank in Budapest and had been homeless on the streets of Paris for the last four years.  As we kept talking he was actually a cool guy, he'd been all over Europe and spoke four languages, he even threw me a couple beers.  He told me all about the city and ended up being one of the more memorable people on my travels.  I spent the next couple days wandering the city, seeing the Eiffel tower, Arc de Triumph and the Louvre.  I think the Louvre has more Egyptian artifacts and mummies then Egypt and i was able to see the Mona Lisa, which was actually kind of disappointing because it's about the size of a postage stamp.  I made some friends from Australia and Seattle and drank and dashed from a bar with terrible service.  We checked out a Jazz bar that had a piano player and a beautiful french girl singing some french jazz songs.
