So, today shelbs and I slept in. It was needed I think since the last train we were on sucked. So we slept in. When we got up we were in sketchy moods. (The mood where you want to sketch) So we wanted to go to the park, but first we needed to get tickets to go back to paris. So we got there around 3ish. And walked around the station to find the ticket booth. We found it and they told us to take a number, but the number thing didn´t work. So we went to the information counter and they told us to wait till 4:30 to get a number to wait in line to get a ticket. So we had already been there for 30 minutes, so we might as well just wait. So we sketched in the train station. It was ok.
It is getting close to 4:30 and so we go to get a ticket, and there is a long line to get tickets. So we get in line to get a ticket to get in line for train tickets to Paris. Eventually some people try to budge and a girl gets in their face and tells them to go to the back of the line, well I am guessing that she said that because she was speaking way to fast for me to try and translate. There was a guy in front of us who spoke spanish and english and he talked to us. he was cool. He told us that there are strikes going on all over. And that is why the train station was waiting to sell tickets. So we thought we might not get tickets. Yikes.
But eventually we get numbers and wait patiently in the waiting area for our number to be called, and we sketch and listen to a little boy hit his head on a seat, and it is very annoying, but I put my iPod in and listened to that. Our number is called!
We go up to the man who speaks no english, so it seems. And we tell him we would like to go to Paris on the 19:00 train. And he punches some things into his computer and starts writing things down on a piece of paper. He shows us the paper, and it has an arrow on it with a 2 circled, and €74.35. And I asked for both of us and he shook his head no. So it was going to cost us €74.35 a person to go back to Paris. We thought about it for a while and I said, it would be cheaper to just go to London by flying. So we are now looking for cheap airplane tickets to London. I am hoping that it will be way cheaper than it would have been to go to Paris then to Calais and then take a ferrie to Dover, England and then find a train to London. So we are looking at all our options for getting back to London.
So let´s pray that Tucker and Shelbi find some way back to London that isn´t going to empty our bank accounts.

Hello it seems that the euro pass is not what it is suppose to be? Why don't you say your goodbyes and chalk this up to experience and head home? We are all ready for the end of this trip I think? Call me if you can so we can talk or chat. I love you and wish you enough!!
