John Lennon, who is about to turn 21 years old in a few days. He and Paul McCartney are now in Paris, celebrating John's upcoming birthday. A few days ago John received 100 pounds (which is a lot of money for 1961) from his family as a gift. He decided to spend it on a trip to Europe with Paul. They went to Paris together. John’s original plan was to go to Spain next, but he’s fallen in love with Paris already and he’s starting to think they might spend the whole holiday here.
