We Have Arrived

The flight was fairly uneventful: waking us at midnight for a meal and at 3:30 for a croissant, which is 8:30 over here.  We have never had an easier time getting through customs.  After picking up our luggage, we search for a pay phone to call the people who were to let us into the apartment.  Now we're talking ordeal:  first waiting forever for a young Asian woman to get off the phone, then searching for another phone, trying to remember what coin was what failing to do the number correctly numerous times, asking for help--twice--and finally getting voice mail.  We took our chances and just took a cap to the let office.  In no time we were in the apartment.  I E-mailed Pat and Phil to let them know how to find the apartment.
