A quick trip to Paris!

So, Anna and I decided it was time to take a trip, so we decided to go to Paris! It was such an amazing week filled with crepes, creme brulee, french onion soup, croque madam, baguettes and croissants!

Here are the highlights:

Anna and I could not have been in Paris more than 10 minutes, when we had our first American tourist moment. We climbed on the Metro, and realized we were going the wrong direction. So, we figured it would get to the end and turn around, but nope! The entire train got off and we stayed on. The train continued to go forward and then just stopped in a dark hallway. In a state of panic, we decided it was a good idea to pull the emergency alarm... Hahaha! The entire train was sounding and the driver came running out to get us! It was super embarrassing, and definitely a memory I will never forget!

Our hotel was right next to Sacre Coure, so that was the first place we went! The building was so beautiful, and it overlooks the entire city.

The Lourve! Anna and I found out that because we are students at Uppsala, we can do all of the museums for free! After the Lourve we saw Musee d'Orsay- my personal favorite because of all of Degas ballerinas- and Musee Rodin.

Notre Dame!

Arc de Triumph at night! Anna and I did saw it again while doing some serious shopping on the Champs Elysees on the last day that we were in Paris.

One of the days, we took the train out to Versaille. It was so beautiful! We are standing in the Hall of Mirrors! We could have stayed in that room for hours. It was so beautiful and looked out over all of the gardens.

THE EIFFEL TOWER! This was absolutely my favorite thing we saw. I was just in awe at how huge it was! The very first night, we went to see it in the dark. It was so awesome, we had to go back again in the daylight!

On one of the nights, we met up with our friend Emily from Gustavus and her two friends from Athens. We went to this teeny little fondue restaurant where they served endless wine in baby bottles! It was so much fun, and so great to see a fellow Gustie!

Overall, the trip was everything we could have hoped for! It made me very excited for more traveling!
