The Flight
The plane ride to Paris was definitely the longest plane ride I have ever been on. On the first flight from Cincinnati to Charlotte, I sat next to a girl who was going to be a freshman at USC. However I quickly found out that this was the only difference we really had. Upon talking a little, we discovered that we both went to Anderson High School, and we had a lot of the same teachers! It was interesting to hear her perspective on Anderson four years after I graduated, but apparently not much has changed! She also is a lifeguard in the summer… did I mention that her name is Sarah as well? Turns out it is a small world! The next flight was interesting because we were flying through the night. We watched the sun set right over the Atlantic Ocean and it rose just as we got to Paris. The night was very short for us! Upon arriving at the Paris airport, I quickly found out that there would not be much English in my life anymore! At first, I didn’t understand why I didn’t understand people. The Paris airport was pretty interesting; the main part of the airport was an upright cylinder and you went through tubes that housed a slanted ramp (escalatoresque- without steps) which crossed the cylinder to the other side to get to the baggage claim. Finally we are in Europe! Exploring Paris later today!
