No we can't leave Paris yet!!

I feel like we just got to France and we're already packing to leave! This is the most fun I've had on the trip so far Paris was amazing. We started off with a dinner and a movie night to see Robin de Bois (Robin Hood). Which was an experience trying to tell them what I wanted from the concession stand, but I got through it and enjoyed the movie. The one surprising thing about a movie theatre in France is there are no cup holders!? haha

The next day was sooo long but I loved every moment! We went to Notre Dame which was beautiful. I must have took atleast ten pictures of the front entrance alone and it was so crowded. There was a fake Quasimoto and real gypsies outside which completed the whole experience of seeing Notre Dame. Apparently I was too excited because as we were walking in I was yelled at by the guard to quiet down before going inside, but I just couldn't help myself :)

Then we were off to the Louvre! This place was just huge, it would honestly take someone atleast a week to go through the whole thing properly. I'm just happy that me and a few others were able to get through the few sections that we did because we were so exhausted towards the end. We saw the Code of Hammurabi, Venus de Milo, Nike, the last supper, and the Mona Lisa. How many people do you know that can say that?! Of course I took a picture of everything but, the Mona Lisa and the last supper was tough! They shouldn't have both of those paintings in the same room, I had to push my way to the front to see the Mona Lisa and then I turn around and realize I'm by myself ..haha. I didn't realize how small that painting was but atleast I got the shot!

After the Louvre and walking around a bit we finally made it to the Eiffel Tower. This was my favorite part of the whole day. It looked just like the movies except seeing it in person was ten times better. I took a picture with every pose possible, it was just life changing. And, to top it off we got ice cream when we were done.

Later that night we took a boat ride from the Eiffel Tower. To see everything from the water was nice and we went at the perfect time (sunset). As the boat ride was ending the lights went on for the Eiffel Tower....priceless! So can you see why I don't want to leave yet? :) All the trouble with the metro and trying to understand French was worth it! Like Olivia said it makes you want to learn French and more of the culture.

Well its off to Switzerland tomorrow, I'm sure this will be interesting with all of the different transportation we're taking but it wouldn't be traveling without a hassle right? ;-)
