Paris !!!

This weekend was Paris... it seems like I have been traveling so much the past few weekends. I just got back to Barcelona late on Saturday night and it feels good to be home (or at least at my home away from home!) I was not sure if I would like Paris, and then I got there (after a flight in a very ghetto plane with a VERY loud group of high schoolers), and I absolutely loved it!!!! We walked for 11 hours on Friday and rode on a tourist bus for three hours, so by the end of the day I was tired! We did stay in a pretty nice hostel/hotel, so it was nice to go back and crash at the end of the day (after watching the Eiffel tower sparkle!!!!) The next day, we walked around for a few hours, but we more or less just explored the city. Also, three friends from Georgetown were in Paris, so there was a big group of us that met at the Louvre. I was so glad to get to see Jami again and also Peggy, who is studying in Italy. Also Vanessa's friend Jen saw someone who she knew at the Louvre, and she ended up being in the same sorority as me, so we, of course, had to take a random picture with a lion.

:::Only one of my "doofus pictures" (me acting like this old man statue) at the end of the day, after 4 hours of the Louvre, when we were incredibly tired and acting a little stupid:::
