PARIS- THE MOST AMAZING CITY

HELLO EVERYONE! So I should be studying for midterms (sorry Daddy) but I figured that I need to update you all on my life! This past weekend me and 5 other friends traveled north to PARIS, FRANCE! Let me tell you I'M MOVING TO THIS CITY!! This was the most amazing trip ever! We left on friday morning at 4:30 and took a cab to the airport, we landed in Paris around 9am and then had to take a bus into the city. When we got into the city we started using the metro to get to our hostel. The St. Christopher's Inn was the nicest hostel that we have been to so far! The beds were better than our beds in our apartment! We threw all of our stuff in the luggage room and went out to explore the city! We ate lunch at a melting pot like restaurant where we cooked our own meat right at our table. This was very exciting and we were so happy that we were getting a break from pasta and carbs. After lunch we went back to our hostel and took a nap and then went to find the Eiffel Tower at night!

When we woke up from our naps, we got ready and took the metro to the Louvre to see the MONA LISA! Let me tell you, she is not all that she is cracked up to be. Yea it was amazing to see such a famous painting but she is so itty bitty. Its not like this huge masterpiece! haha After that I went to find the EIFFEL TOWER! Okay this was AMAZING!!! I fell in love with Paris as soon as I saw this at night! Why doesn't America have anything cool like this?!?! After seeing the Eiffel tower we feasted on crepes with chocolate and then came back to our hostel for bed.

The next morning we woke up and it was raining we had breakfast in  the hostel which consisted of french baguettes and OJ. Then ventured out in the rain! We took a train to Versailles to see the Palace that Louis XIV built! It was huge and very pretty! Then my roommates and I love Mexican food so we found a mexican restaurant for lunch and decided to have margaritas and pina coladas! After lunch we took the train back into Paris and climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower. This was beautiful! Looking over the city was gorgeous and would take anyones breath away! After sightseeing all day us girls decided to get some shopping done on the Champs Elysees! Let me tell you PARIS IS EXPENSIVE!! But that didn't stop me from having the time of my life while purchasing one of a kind items!
