Tuesday, May 2nd

We took a cruise on the canal and visit the flower market and a square that is recommended by the hotel staff.

The city is not as dirty as the day before, but some streets still are full of garbage. The smell of the urine can really be stifling. The flower shop was not that nice, and the square is quite ordinary as well. We did have a nice meal in the square in a little Japenese restaunrant.

We got back a bit too early, and apparently the train does not come and wait for a long time like we thought it would. It seems that they expect you just come a couple of minutes before the ticket time. We bought some nice pastries and ate them on the way.

We arrived in Paris around 9:00 pm. It was a bit struggle to get to the hotel, but most people seem to be eagar to help when we asked for directions, but a lot of them has real difficulty with
English.
