Berets and baguette

5 days in France

That's not a lot of time but I'm so grateful that i was able to go. It was an exciting experience and i would not be exaggerating by saying I've been waiting for this for a long time. Don't get me wrong that i came to Germany just for Paris but it was definitely a highlight.

Day 1

After breakfast we finished packing our bags and filled our purses with snacks. After driving i don't know how long we ended in France (not Paris) to the train station to one of the fastest trains in the world. We spent only a 3 hour train ride in which i spent trying to sleep (unsuccessfully). We then took the Subway to a place near Chloe's house where she met us. So Chloe doesn't actually live IN Paris but the town next to it. So when we were driving to Chloe's house you could see the Eiffel tower. Which i acted really cool and non tourist towards them but in my head i was "Oh my gosh, I'm actually in Paris! oh my gosh, oh my gosh! their is the ACTUAL Eiffel tower!!!!!" We had a tour of Chloe's house which was very french and then had a lovely dinner with her parents.

Day 2

We woke in the morning for a french breakfast, which is croissants and other tasty breads with tea. then we left for their "super market" i do it with quotations because its tiny compared to America but everything is tiny in Europe. we bought food for the time we were their and left back for home. We packet up are lunch's and went on the subway to Paris. The first thing i noticed about Paris was how beautiful it was. The walk towards the louvre puts all the gardens in America to shame. There were statues, perfect trimmed bushed, statues and not a single tree out of place. All that was just the walk from the subway to the louvre. the louvre itself it another beauty. We met up with Chloe's friend and then saw the Mona Lisa. it was a beautiful painting but 10 times smaller then you would expect. After eating lunch in the park we went to the l´arc of triophe. Though it was drizzling a little we went up top and saw a beautiful view of Paris. We all were quite tired so we decided to leave Paris early and enjoy a nice meal at home.

Day 3

We woke up early in the morning and our subway was late but after rushing from the subway to the Eiffel tower we were able to make up the time to be able to go on the Eiffel tower (our tickets were at 9 50 and we arrived at 10 00) while everyone Else had to wait in a 6 hour line to buy tickets we bought our online and got in 5 minutes. it was very lovely. when we were done i got my first crepe in France and it was Delicious! we then went on a boat tour of France. After that we went to the park near the Eiffel tower and just relaxed in the grass. we then went home and made diner. afterwords we went to Notre dame but was 15 minutes late from going inside. (it closes at 6 45, for anyone who traveling to Europe their is nothing that's 24 hours.) we then found a nice crepe restaurant were we had dinner and hung out with 4 of Chloe's friends. Afterwards we traveled to the edge of the island. (Notre dam is ON an island in the middle of France. You wouldn't realize it though unless you look at a map because their are so many bridges. ) we drank a little champagne because that's the french thing to do and then went home late at night.

Now that's part one of France. Part 2 coming soon!
