December 22nd
 
I went to Disney Land Paris today.  I didn't pay full price of course, but was able to get in for a discount, and went with some other hostelers who are big fans.  It was a kick!  It would have been real easy to spend alot of money there so I had to be very careful.  I saw of course: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy (was my favorite).  The rides were great and the park is huge.  It is just amazing how big Paris is to me, because it is so much bigger than anything I've ever seen.  Although, I understand that there are bigger cities.
 
Tomorow I am leaving.  I am taking a morning train to Quimper in North Western France.  The train stations are very packed this time of year, and I had to pay extra becuase the seats were all booked and my eurail pass was not valid.  I will spend Christmas in Quimper.  There are alot of things I want to do in the area like look at some of the many legendary dolmens and standing stones.  The language spoken there is French, although the Celtic  Breton language is spoken as well, nad proabably some english.  Unfortunatly the Breton language is dying at an allarming rate with only a small percent of people in the regoing speaking Breton and almost all of them are over 50 years old.  That amazes me an entire language is dying, and perhaps with it a beeautiful culture.  Well, one thing I hope to do in my life is learn Breton, after I learn welsh, and the two languages are actually related.
 
Im out of time on the computer kiosk.  Your probably all getting ready for Christmas.  Joux Noel.  Happy holidays.
