Their is a thing called Jet Lag

I read and was told to get on the current time zone as far as activities and waking /sleeping hours go. I did hit the hay last night at 11ish PM, which is 5 PM at home. I woke up at 7ish, Paris time 1 AM at home. I was pretty blurry, head and eyes. Fell back asleep until 10ish Paris time and 4 AM home awoke pretty blurry, head and eyes. (at lease I have an excuse over here). I went downstairs to have a cafe Americana (thank goodness). Breakfast is to be served until 11but they must have run out of Omellettes as I was the only one there. (The Germans staying here ate all the food and were out and about by 7. It's only an hour time difference to them. See how they'de do in NYC). So I walked down to the Tourist Office to convert my vouchers to tickets. Stopped for, well, some lunch by now. Ham and cheese sandwich sounded good. Yes, 80% of the menu's I have seen so far are in French and like I was hoping, in minute English underneith. I think the farther away you get from this tourist area the more and more the Francofil will begin to dominate. I did have a run in at a Barrista ordering a cafe (coffee - sort of). He asked if I wanted Espresso, I told him no, just a cafe, noir. (noir means black in French, I thought). He looked at me and in his best French accent, said "eh?". I said black, with sugar dead (givaway you are from US). He said "Ah, black with sucre"! I drank it and gave him the 4,00 Euro's ($5.84). Anyway, the ham sandwich comes and it is a...a....a slice of ham and a piece of swiss cheese on a bagette that is as round as tour wrist and about a foot long. I took the slice of meat off one half and put it on the other half, ordered a Coca-Cola...with ice and ate. All the Coca-Cola's (not Coke) come with a slice of lemon or lime in it. No rum, you have to ask for that.  I would go on...and on, and on. But it is 1 AM ish Paris time and 7 PM at home, so I better go to bed so I can beat the Germans tomorrow at 7 AM ish Paris time and 1 AM at home. Oh, all the info about getting used to the current time zone says, don't think about what time it REALLY is, at home.
(Sorry about the spelling, the spell check here tries to convert everything to French. I'm not kidding!)
