One Night in Paris

Here's a condensed list of everything we did in Paris. There's a lot, so we thought this would be the best way to tell you about our trip.

(Friday, we mainly packed and got ready. We were both kind of out of it, so it seemed like a good opportunity to rest before our fun-filled weekend...It turned out to be even more than we expected)

Saturday:

• Sleep on train
• Find hotel/hostel
• See the ghetto of Paris (it's everywhere)
• Go see Notre Dame (breathtaking)
• Go to the Louvre Museum
• Get two free museum tickets handed to us from some girl and her winky boyfriend :) (save 20 euros)
• Boys ditch out (they don't like art)
• Find the Mona Lisa (she's still smiling)
• Eat escargot for the first time at a cafe near the Eiffel Tower (definitely a delicious delicacy)
• See the Eiffel Tower really sparkle at night
• Avoid creepy guys selling tiny towers (one euro, one euro, one euro)
• Ignore and avoid creepy guys while holding belongings very close
• Escape the con artists (by running and acting like crazy people)
• Enjoy mulled wine and crepes across the street next to a carousel
• Go back to hostel
• Fire! Fire! Fire! Alarm goes off at 3a.m. (sounded like an air raid was going on)
• Evacuate and grab Katie's camera!
• Never mind, someone was just smoking a cigarette
• Free breakfast! I love cocoa krispies and croissants
• Check out, grab our backpacks, and head to Notre Dame
• Eat at more cafes and see the Eiffel Tower one last time
• Back to train and sleep (our legs and feet are sore from walking)
• Paris was fun, but we're ready to head back to London town 

If you ever go to Paris, know French. It will make life much easier. However, it was definitely an adventure finding our way around. If all else fails, ask directions. The people at the train stations were very helpful and nice. We would like to thank the gentleman who took our picture at a cafe where we had the best steak ever. Another thanks goes out to the lovely couple who saved us from standing in line to see famous art. In retrospect, Paris wasn't so bad after all. It just depends on what part of town you're in...
