Hello Again. I’m way behind on my blogging, so I’m going to give you the short and sweet...

The weekend before Thanksgiving, API took us to Paris. We left early Thursday Morning, and returned early early EARLY Monday morning... It was such a whilrwind though. But it was just enough time to fall absolutely in love with the city.

I did not go into the trip thinking that I would love Paris...

I did not go into the trip thinking that I would love Paris, I thought I would enjoy it but only in the sense that it is Paris, and it is famous and full of history. But for being such a HUGE city, it was truly charming. I just loved every minute. We did a ton of the tourist things, and got to see just about everything I wanted to. Notre Dame, Versailles, Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coure, Moulin Rouge, Montmartre, The Louvre, Arc de Triumph, The Ferris Wheel, Champs E’lysses... I could probably keep going on and on. We walked all over, took the metro a few times, the train and of course traveled by bus in order to see as much as we could....

I absolutely loved Versailles after taking European history, mind you it was a good 4 years ago, but I was just eating up the history there. It took me back to AP euro history my sophomore year of high school, french history, french kings, french revolutions! We walked out to Marie Antoinette’s estate to see all her glorious “mini” palace, and where she kept her secret lovers haha. The Louvre was incredible. I saw art I saw in my textbooks in high school! How cool is that. Venus de Milo and a Sphinx oh man, I could go on and on....

The best part was that while we were climbing to the top of the hill where Sacre Coure is, it started to snow!! I got to see snow in PARIS. It made for such a fun trip...unfortunately, after the snow stopped, it started pouring and none of us were prepared for that weather....

I fell in love with Paris and definitely want to go back someday. I was so surprised with how nice the big city actually was, we drank french wine, and ate crepes everyday... ohhh how I miss those crepes!

Sorry this entry is so short. I want to give you guys a quick update, so that you know what I’ve been up to. I promise I’ll catch up soon! I’ve been so busy. I can’t wait to see you all.... only about 2 weeks! Take Care everyone. xoxo.
