We arrived at Charles De Gaulle Airport after 20 flying hours only to find that our luggage was not there! And this was after waiting about an hour in French Customs so by the time we went to get the train to Paris from the Airport, it was too late to keep our meeting with Monsieur Jean-Pierre Roussel, the man who had the key to our apartment. We lost more time talking with Air France about our lost luggage so then we decided to take a taxi instead of the train in order to make our meeting for the key to our new home in Paris. We got there with a minute to spare at great cost - 48 Euros! which is about 70 dollars. The train would have cost us 17 Euros or about 30 dollars.
I hope they find our luggage because we only have one change of clothes each. But our apartment is fantastic - very big and quite comfortable although it's only 8 degrees Celsius (or 48 degrees Fahrenheit) and we are cold because we're waiting for the heat to warm us up. I am very tired and hungry so we are going to have a shower, change our clothes, and go get a croissant.
