About a month ago Tim and Karlyn Wedler wanted to know if we wanted to go with them to Disney land Paris for a weekend. Well, it's not what I would think to do if I go to Paris, but Tim and Karlyn are going home soon and they are a lot of fun to be around. Plus it's not often that 25 yr olds want to spend a significant amount of time with 50 plus year olds. So we agreed to go. Well, it was a good time, except for the travel to and from. We went low tech which meant leaving on a bus from London on Friday at 8:30p, to Dover, on a ferry to Calais, then to Paris where we ended up at the bus station at 8:00am having had a terrible time of sleeping on the bus & ferry. Then a whole day at the park. The weather was great which was a nice change from London. Ed and I headed to the Hostel earlier than the other 4 (there were two other young girls too). We got off at the right bus stop, but it was a bit tricky finding the hostel, on foot, not knowing french and it was getting dark. Well we made it, tired and weary and feeling all of our years. We slept in the next day while the other 4 went to the park at 8am. We met them at 12noon. The sleep helped a lot and we had another great day both at the park and weather wise. At the end of the day, we took the sub to the bus station and did the trip backwards through the night again. This time with the bus Nazi. He yelled at people and was very strict about what we could or couldn't have on the bus.

That sounded like a fun trip to Paris Disneyland. Was it like going to regular Dineyland/Disney World, except all the songs were sung in French? The bus Nazi sounded scary!
I'm enjoying your journal - it sounds like you are really busy! Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
