Life in Barcelona

We went to Paris last weekend, and it was so amazing! (At least the days were, the nights were a little dramatic. Tip: Don't put five girls in one hotel room.) We left Barcelona Thursday afternoon and arrived in Paris in the evening. The girls and I (the boys were not nice this weekend, so we're not planning any more trips with them..they hold us back anyway) went straight to the Eiffel Tower, which was so beautiful at night. We went to the top, which was so cool because the whole city was lit up.

Friday we woke up early and had a full day. We went to the Louvre in the morning and saw the Italian art. I have a slight obsession with DaVinci, so for me, that was pretty cool. We had lunch outside by the pyramid- also very cool. We then strolled through the gardens by the Louvre and walked around the city until we hit the Arc de Triomphe. After, we headed back to the Eiffel Tower to get some day pictures. While we were there, there was a movie being shot, so we checked out the set for awhile. We decided to go back to the Louvre to explore another room and randomly met the boys in our program on the way. Back at the Louvre we saw the Egyptian art, but it was pretty late and we were getting tired and cranky (hence the drama) and went back to the hotel.

Saturday we slept in a little bit and headed out to the Notre Dame Cathedral at about noon. It was so beautiful and so much fun. We had lunch in a park near Notre Dame. After, we walked to the Basilica, which was SO PRETTY. It was probably the most gorgeous day in Paris ever: blue skies, sun shining.. At the steps of the Basilica, there was a band playing, so we sat and listened for probably two hours. It was so much fun. We then walked around the city for a long time. I went back to the hotel and some people tried to go shopping, but the stores close there a lot earlier than in Barcelona.

We woke up early Sunday to get to the airport, but it was such an incredible weekend. I love Paris, and I definitely want to go back A LOT later!

All my love,
