Time for another update in the aftermath of our Parisian adventure. First of all, before freezing conditions for an entire weekend of touristy activities made my appreciation of and desire for a good pair of ear muffs exponentially more apparent.
The weekend began with a little hotel disaster. Not only was our hotel the definition of a pit, it was actually the manifestation of my worst nightmare to the point that camping would have been a better option. No pillows, the lingering of a chain smoker's holiday, hairs in the sheets, broken shower. Needless to say it was a girl's paradise. But no worries, after a small breakdown, we headed to a good old quality American chain hotel and the trip turned around for the better.
We saw the Eiffel Tower, the Champs d'Elysse, the Arc de Triumph, the Louvre, Sacre Cour (pardon my horrid spelling). We ate our way through the French landscape--crepes, bread and cheese, croissants, hot chocolate (not French but necessary for the cold), onion soup. Just saying, the city of love didn't give me a new romance but instead just more of me to love as I'm pretty sure the city added 45 inches to my waistline. AWESOME.
What else, let's see. That's pretty much Paris. Lots of walking, lots of eating, lots of picture taking. I was a blatant tourist and I didn't hate it.
More to come after finals week ends Tuesday and then we take off for ROME and Zurich YAHOO!
