covered the size of a small city
I really don't know if my pedometer is recording my activities correctly. Today it says I have walked 24123 steps or 17.85 km. I have been recording these numbers and its feirce how far I have walked:
39140, 15.65km
26265, 18.38km
9989, 6.99km
25960, 18.43km
22779, 16.17km
21749, 16.09km
11736, 8.68km
26885, ?km
See what I mean? Some of those are recorded over 2days but some are one day excurions. If I keep this up, I'll be too tired to explore Brussels.
Since I have arrived in Paris, I have walked down the Champ Eleesyes, Blvd St. Germain, all over Cemeterie Montparnasse and Pere Lachaise, Rue Royal, the area around the Moulin Rouge (I have never been to anything more anti climactic in my whole life; it looks nothing like the postcards, pictures, movies etc), the Left Bank, the Notre Damn, The Eiffel Tower (I decided to not go up, due to the massive line ups and ridiculous price), Musee de Orsay, up and down the boulevards, down kooky little streets. I'm plum tuckered out.
Speaking of prices, it's very expensive under the Euro. I bought a one litre bottle of water and it was 3 Euro which is almost $6!! You have to be very careful to buy things in supermarkets and neighborhood shops and not in touristy places. This internet session will run 1.50 Euro for 1/2 hr and that almost up...
I do have tons of pictures to upload, just need to find a place that will let you attach USB sticks and camera equipment.
