Today we met in the hotel at ten o clock and we went to the train station.  We went to the Eiffel Tower and met up with our tour guide from Fat Tire Bike Tours.  We walked a little ways to the bike tour office and took the 4 hour tour.  We stopped in a park and had lunch.  The tour was just like the others, just in another city.  I have come to really enjoy these bike tours, I have been thinking about getting myself a bike when I get back to the states.  After the tour, we went to the National Museum of Modern art.  I can appreciate and semi enjoy seeing old, famous art... but this museum was filled with (in my opinion) random junk.  Some of the exhibits I could recreate with miscellaneous stuff from my apartment.  You will have to check the pictures to see what I mean.  After the museum we were done for the day and we all came back to the hotel.  We showered and got ready to go out for the night.  Everyone had gotten themselves some alcohol and we ended up not going anywhere tonight.  Kendall and I had enough of that and we went down the street to a pub and got a drink.  I ordered a beer and they gave me a liter of beer.  When it was time to leave I was given a tab for one beer that was 20 euros... I have had bad luck with the beer buying over here.  I was a little aggravated after this so I called it a night and hit the hay.  Check back tomorrow.
