Paris: Night 1, cant sleep.

I know i did kinda get to bed early tonight, considering the past few nights in london we werent going to bed untill 1 or 2 in the morning. Im not use to this time yet i dont think, so when i lay down to go to sleep at 10:00 im really laying down to sleep at 4 in the afternoon. The people in this dorm are quiet, i thought, with my luck, id be stuck with a room full of bears.
The other night i was looking at dates of bands touring europe while im here. There are quite a few of them, but there was one that really, i think it could actually help out if i went to it. Verse is playing in Vienna on November 26th. Not only do i want to go to Vienna, but i feel by that time in this adventure im going to be getting pretty worn out, emotionally and physically. I think seeing them would kind of be like a good push forward. I tried listening to them on the train today and i couldnt do it.
Im already getting pretty worn down by this. The lack of food, nutrition, and human interaction, lack of sleep. But this is the reason why i came over here, not just to get out of traverse city, this isnt a vacation or anything for me. I did it for the knowledge and strength that i will gain through this. For the expiriance.
And to perhaps try to find a better ethiopian resteraunt than little africa in grand rapids. Iv been looking at my friend Johns journal, (The john that has helped me out alot already on this journey) he's got some pictures of that place with some friends eating there. I would do anything right now to get some of that food! I cant wait to get somewhere and just start chowing down on awesome food! i know its going to happen sometime in this trip, as if the pizzas in london werent already awesome. Its going to happen, i guess im just preparing myself right now for that time. Maybe im in Spain it will happen and i can get a chaluppa or something....HA! No, but maybe in spain or rome...a big bowl of spaghetti, and some bread. That sounds perfect.

The produce selection here in europe so far has been pretty weak....so unfortunatly i havent been to hit that up yet. Not as much as id like to at least. Some markets here in Paris, but everything is bruised and/or coated.
