Arras to Paris

on top of Notre Dame

We crossed over to France from Dover and watched as the famous white cliffs faded into the distance.  Ready for our hitchhiking odyssey to Athens, Greece, the intuitive side of my personality kicked in quickly once I started diving into cars driven by strange men. Not one woman stopped to give us a lift.

France was easy for rides and we spent our first night at a youth hostel in Arras where we met European kids traveling our same route, except on a EuroRail Pass. When we told them our plans to hitch, they thought we were crazy. It's so far! Greece!  But coming from a country like Canada, Greece was a mere day away. The same distance from Vancouver to Calgary. 

So much to see and do in Paris. The Louvre was amazing and well worth a tour. Unfortunately, I took next to no pictures on my trek through Europe.
