First Day!

Today has literally been the longest day of my life!  I slept a bit on the 8 hour flight over here, but not enough to constitute a full night's rest.  We arrived at 6 o'clock this morning and took a train into the city.  This place is beautiful!  Our hostel is in a gorgeous part of town, about a block off of the Seine.  Today we were all jet-lagged and so we had a light-ish day.  We walked all over le Marais (our neighborhood) and explored.  Then a few of us split a bottle of wine and sat at an outdoor cafe by the Seine.  Beautiful.  We also toured Victor Hugo's apartment. 
Our hostel is small, but very nice!  I will post some more pictures of the hostel and the surrounding neighborhood next time.  This post is all about cafés.  They are amazing here with outdoor seating and great views of the city.
Here are my favorite pics:
