Paris was an absolutely whirlwind, but wonderful weekend! It began Friday night with a canceled flight, it luckily was only three of us traveling so we were able to get on the 7am flight the next morning and were put up in a hotel! So Saturday morning we were up and running by 4:30am and started out our very full day. We arrived to Paris, navigated our way to our hostel (which was extremely nice) and headed to the Eiffel Tower! I was truly in awe when we turned the corner coming out of the metro stop and there it was, absolutely enormous and truly breath-taking.

After visiting Paris' most famous landmark we head to the Arc de Triomphe. The traffic circle around the arc is enough of a site to see! The arc is absolutely gorgeous and I am so glad we made the trek over! After the arc we headed back to the hostel for a bit of rest and than began our evening adventure! We headed to Moulin Rouge to see the area all light up with bright lights! It was truly amazing. The night was topped off with the perfect French meal (french onion soup, duck, and creme brulee)!

Sunday morning we were very proud of ourselves and made it to Lourve without any lines! The Lourve was wonderful, although a little too big for us to see everything! We of course saw the Mona Lisa and a few of the other masterpieces, which were all spectacular!

After the Lourve we took a stroll through the beautiful garden and then decided to take a ride on the large ferris wheel. It ended up being a perfect way to see the whole city. We laughed about the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe looking like they had been placed into a Children's play city, because of their size and how much they stand out! After the ferris wheel we headed to Norte Dame. It was truly unbelievable and I am so glad we went to see it!

We finished our trip off with a delicious fondue lunch and headed to the airport! Only five more days here in Spain! I can't believe that was my last trip! Tomorrow night we are going to see Mamma Mia and then Friday to a farewell dinner and flamenco show! I also have my last exam tomorrow! See you all soon! Besos!
