Four friends of my niece Laura from the University of Poitiers arrived in Paris yesterday to catch a train to Germany very early this morning. As typical college kids do, they had no place to stay and thought they would just wander around Paris or hang around in an Internet cafe all night. This is what they told us when they stopped by to say Hi to my niece, who was also in Paris yesterday but was leaving a few hours later to visit a friend in the south.
It was freezing in Paris and even though we don´t have a lot of space, we invited them over for dinner and to spend the night at our apartment until it was time to catch their early train. We're not sure how much sleep they got last night but by the smiles on their faces it's obvious that each one was happy to at least have a warm, dry, and comfortable 1/4 of a sofa bed.
