too much to do, too little time: paris

5 of 5

Thursday we drove to Paris, and that night we saw the Hunger Games! Then we went to a couple bars in the Moulin Rouge district, which was a cool area.

Friday morning we went to the Lourve at 8:30am, when it opened at 9. And the line was already long! So we rannnn through the Lourve and saw the major sights in like an hour. It is the BIGGEST art museum I've ever seen. It goes on and on and on. Said hi to Mona and left. Then we did a walking tour of Paris, which was only okay. We didn't really go to any big sites. Then we walked through Champs Elysee to get to the Arc du Triomphe. We took the metro to the eiffel tower and took a couple pictures (got a crepe on the way). Then got on the metro again and went to Notre Dame, but the line was INSANE, like hundreds of people. So we snapped a couple pics and walked down the street to Sainte Chapelle. This was the number one thing that I wanted to do because it's a gorgeous chapel that I've loved forever and always have wanted to go to, so we got on line and OBVIOUSLY they cut off the line right in front of the people in front of us. like we were the second group to be cut off. great. that sucked. so i was upset. but whatever, guess I have to go back!

we went to Sacre Coeur where we sat on the steps and saw a gorgeous view of Paris and watched the sunset with wine and baguettes. Of course I said a prayer over them for Passover! That area has some cute restaurants so we went in one and I had GREAT french onion soup and a girl we were with had escargot.

Saturday (the last day) we went to Versailles, which was HUGE and gorgeous. There were a lot of people there, so we rented bikes and rode around and saw the sheep and Marie Antoinette's cottage. It was so pretty.

Then we flew home that night!

Anyways, I'm SUPER SUPER exhausted, and now sick. Paris was by far my least favorite, but the other three were unreal. Paris was just too much to do and too little time. How do you do Paris in 2 days, with the crowds of Easter weekend? Impossible. I loved this trip, and I could have never done it myself. It was all the cities I wanted to go to, but didn't have the time for. Now time for some sleep!!
