Paris, France

As I write this post I am listening to Edith Piaff and longing to watch La Vie En Rose even though I already have Fifty Shades of Grey all loaded and ready to watch (too tired to watch an emotional movie). Anyways, Paris to me was magical. Yes, it was covered in smog but that didn't stop it from being one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. 

Only being in Paris for two days and one night, we were basically the biggest tourists to ever exist. And after two 9 hour bus rides, a two hour ferry ride and 3 different kinds of border control stops, we were also the most tired tourists to ever exist.

We hit it all: the Lock Bridge (and of course we all locked our locks on there. [how many times can I say lock in one sentence]), the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Louvre…you name it, we saw it. 

We stayed at St. Christopher's Inn (my very first hostel experience!) and loved it so much that we are staying there while we are in Berlin, Germany next weekend. They served us breakfast of ham and cheese on baguettes, cereal and canned fruit. While that doesn't seem too appetizing, the baguettes were  something I am still craving over a week later. This hostel was somewhere you could stay at drinking all night, but of course we only started there. We then went to the Social Club where it had "European" written all over it. Every song sounded the same and there were no lyrics or ~*beat drops*~. But, we still had a great time.

I think what really made me fall in love with Paris was, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Because it sure as hell wasn't the customer service let me tell ya…rude. But, when I saw the Eiffel Tower I literally couldn't believe my eyes. And at night? Unreal. We selfie-sticked HARD and I think you can tell by the pictures how much we were enjoying ourselves.

French onion soup, duck, salmon salad and creme brûlée…I'm still dreaming of France's food as I eat my last box of Velveeta Mac and Cheese and drink the rest of my Grandma Utz chip bag (really I'm just salty that I finished both today. hint hint mom!)

Someday I hope to go back to Paris, France because after Italy, it is probably my favorite place I've been to in Europe. Everyone was so beautiful and I felt like they all lived the cutest lives in little cafe's eating croissants and drinking espresso. Now I may change my mind after I go to Germany and hopefully Ireland within the next few weeks but for now, La France a mon coeur! (I used google translator and that means "France has my heart" lolol I'm not that smart). Au revoir!
