What is it?

I have to wonder what it is about France that constantly forces me to maintain some state of illness. Currently I am sitting in bed with a small lake in my lungs (delicious, no?). This situation makes it fairly hard to function in class, let alone travel like I want to.

Regardless, I am headed to Paris this weekend and come Hell or high water, I will be getting on a train Friday. Traveling to or through Paris has been a common theme throughout my time here in the fabulous land of cathedrals and crêpes.

1. Paris weekend
2. Montparnasse/Gare du Nord transfer. Destination: London
3. Gare du Nord/Montparnasse transfer. Destination: Poitiers
4. Montparnasse/Gare du Nord transfer. Destination: Maastricht
5. Gare du Nord/Montparnasse transfer. Destination: Poitiers.

Needless to say, I'm well versed in the metro system and the line destinations by now.

I'm looking forward to my hostel location. It's at the foot of the Sacre Coeur and near Moulin Rouge, right in the heart of Montmartre. The metro station is close by (ligne 12) and it's unbelievably easy to buy an all access pass for the weekend. There are plenty of cafes around and it's simple to drop by some of Paris' most spectacular landmarks at the drop of a hat. I have fallen in love with this city. The only thing better would be to have my boyfriend and my flighty mistress, Paris, at the same time.

Looks so simple, doesn't it?
