together in Paris

So last weekend was Paris. Let me just start off by saying...travelling to Paris was 100x easier and more stress free than the whole Verona fiasco.

Anyway, when Meg and I got off the plane Josh was waiting for us. It as soooo incredible to see him again! It felt like a lifetime since I had seen him. He looked so chic and Parisian lol. That night we went over to his room for a bit and then over to our hotel to just chat and catch up.

The next day was tourist/food explosion! We started off the day with a nice little chocolate croissant for breakfast and then picked up Norah and Laura. After they left their stuff in the hotel, we made our way over to the Pantheon, but not before stopping for crepes. Then we had a pastry that weighed an actual pound...that is not an exaggertion...I ate a one pound pastry. After that we picked up Seth and took him back to the hotel where we relaxed for a little bit before meeting up again to go over to the Eiffel Tower. It was just an incredible as I remembered. Then we made our way to Notre Dame and to this place, Hippo for a delicious meal. After dinner it was more food with gelato, then Eiffel Tower, some Arc d'Triomphe...and bed.

The next moring, Meg, Laura, Norah, Seth and myself went over to the Louvre while Josh went to pick up Callie. That place still takes my breath away. I really gotta get my Ufizzi pass...anyway, it was a little confusing, but we managed to see a lot in 3 hrs (Napoleopn III's Apartment, Coronation of Napoleon, Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, and many more). We then met Josh and Callie. We had some lunch, walked down the Champs d' Elysees, and eventually made our way to Sacre Couer (I'm speeding up because I don't have much time). Sacre Couer is probably my favorie place in Paris. We admired some of the artists work, enjoyed phenominal view, went inside the basilica, and then went to this fondue place for dinner. We drank wine from baby bottles and had delicious fondue, and I ate raw meat...yummy. Meg and I did a kickline outside the bathroom. We went to this other place for dessert and drinks and then headed back to the hotel.

Sunday Meg and I had to catch a pretty early flight, so we had just enough time for 1 more meal. We had amazing french onion soup and crepes. Well that ended the Paris vacay. We got back to Florence pretty early. I met Kelly's friend Kerri, and we ate delicious salad and I made sangria. Beatles tonight, Sicily this weekend and midterms next week...woohoo!

Before I post...a huge thank you to Josh for seriously being the best tour guide evs!!!
