Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed yet alone travel

We woke early this morning to ensure that we allowed plenty of time to catch our train. And I mean actually early, 4:30. As we checked out, the guy working the desk asked if we wanted breakfast since we were missing the free breakfast. We said we were in a hurry and he ensured us that he could get us something quick and free, so we accepted. He brought us back a bagged lunch pretty much. It included a box of apple juice, an apple, a sandwich, weird granola bar thing, and paprika chips. It wasn't too bad and hey it was free. We took a train from Amsterdam to Paris. On the train, we wanted to kill the people behind us. They were shooting what they called a movie. They were blocking the path to the bathroom and said the same damn things over and over. It was quite annoying. And it didn't help they were really bad actors and trying to pull off American accents, needless to say it didn't work. When we arrived to Paris we had to change train stations. Well, easier said than done. We needed to take the metro and unfortunately, their were no tellers working and they expected us to pay with coins, and they did not have any machines to make change which so we exited the building trying to find another entrance where someone might be working. Again, no luck and I tried to talk to some French guys to try and figure out what to do. That was no good either. So we were panicking because we had less than an hour to get to the other train station. We then tried to find a taxi as a last result and had some difficulties doing that. But finally we found one and he promised us it would be 15 minutes and we were feeling a little better. It was only a 11 euro cab ride so it wasn't too bad. We hustled to the train and made it with time. It was of course another interesting train ride. There were some very vulgar young Americans sitting near us. They were carrying along in English assuming no one around them spoke English. Finally, a man spoke up scolding them. This is why stupid people should be banned. We made it to our hostel which is near the train station. It only took cash which was a bit unusual. We then went to find some food and we grabbed some from a cafe. We sat and drank a small glass of wine while we enjoyed some pasta. I got some simple spaghetti (I'll be more bold soon) and Kelley had some amazing lasagna. Now, we're sitting in our hostel and talking to some people from Kentucky that are studying in Paris for the summer. Tomorrow, we'll be journeying around Nice. Wish us luck exploring.
