Wow its really hot on this plane, and uh is that rain

As i left venice i was flying Ryanair which is the low budget airlines of Europe. You can get flights from 20 bucks to 100 dollars to any of there destinations. Problem is that if you check a bag that charge you 15 Euros. Your carry on can only be a certain size and can only weigh 10 kg. I have watched people try to fit there bag, i have even took pictures as a guy jammed his bag into the rack to see if it would fit and 3 guys had to help him get the bag out. Well karma got the best of me, i should have know because im an advocate of My Name is Earl. Anyway so when i weighed my bag it was 15 KG. I then started to put the clothes on my body, Every jacket, shorts and long sleeve shirt i owned was then on. That alone got me down to 11Kg. I then switched my shoes, and put the basketball shoes on and my lighter Nikes into my bag. This plan actually worked, i then waddled my way to the plane and took my seat and sweated the entire trip

When i got to Paris it was almost 11 and i had nowhere to stay, so i did what anyone would do slept outside. I found a residential area and laid down behind a bush up against a gate so i was not visible from the street. It was pretty cold that night but i had a blanket from one of my flights.( the thinnest thing ever) As i was sleeping i was having a dream that i was getting rained on, i then woke up to realize it was raining. Not to bad, but i was prepared and already had my rain gear on so it was okay. I had some cover from a tree and the bushes so i went back to bed. I then had a dream that a dog was peeing on me. I woke up to find out the sprinkler went off next to me, i grabbed my stuff and took of. At 4 30 am i was now ready for the day of Paris. Thanks to the 2 football players they told me to go to Paris early i dont think they meant this early but i was off.

What a beautiful city to walk around and see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame before anyone was even awake. While at the Louvre i found out that on Tuesday its actually closed(hmm should looked that up) I then headed back to the eiffel tower to climb to the top. It was about 8 30 and it didnt open until 9. Problem was that they do not have a bag drop and i had all of my stuff with me. I found a restaurant to store my bag and told them that i would then come back and eat there. They charged me a ton for a soda, but at least i got to the top of the Eiffel tower. The view is amazing, the way Paris is laid out is amazing to see. I will say something else that was wild to see was people fears of heights, to see them clinging to walls and not wanting to be near the edge.

Well im hoping to write another at the airport tonight, we shall see how that goes.
