Just spent the last 3 weeks in Paris and Troyes.  I was fortunate to have found 2 amazing couchsurfing hosts in both cities, Olivier and Mouss.  It was an interesting time to be here because there were quite a few strikes of sorts!  The metro, the country`s trains, teachers, doctors, the post, and even the students.  Luckily Mouss owns a scooter because that was our transportation as he took me sightseeing around Paris. 

I am returning to Atlanta on 11 December.  I am leaving Paris tomorrow, heading back to Germany for a week, then off to London for a few days before flying home from the Gatwick airport.  I am actually looking forward to coming home...but I`m sure I will I miss Europe immensely after a few days...I want the best of both worlds!
