This past weekend, my group (API) took us to Paris! We were there Thursday-Sunday and had an amazing time. I'm really happy I ended up going with my group because I probably wouldn't have otherwise--so expensive and also a lot of other places I want to see! Anyways, it was great we got a panoramic bus tour of the city, stopped at the eiffel tour, notre dame, a lot of other historic places and had a private tour of the louvre! The louvre was one of the most beautiful museums I've ever been to. My favorite part of the museum was the moat that used to surround the city. The remains are still in really good condition and there's this pathway that takes you through the moat walls. Very cool.
It was my friends 21st birthday while we were there, such a lucky girl to spend it in Paris! Also, one of my best friends Camilla is studying abroad there so it was great to see a familiar face. We went out to dinner the first night I was there, and went shopping on Saturday. My Dad was traveling back to NY from Holland and made a pit stop in Paris on Saturday! It was so so so good to see him and he took my two friends (Holly and Becca) and I out for coffee and cake which was delicious. The food in France is definitely incredible..I think I probably ate a dozen pains au chocolat while I was there.
On Saturday night Dad, Camilla and I went out to dinner. It felt very surreal to be in Paris with them and I feel so lucky that I got to see my friends/family while I was there. The dinner was deliche..first meal I haven't had to split with a friend in a very very long time! Spain isn't NEARLY as expensive as Paris, but still when we go out to eat we try to spend as little as possible and end up splitting a bunch of different plates so it was so nice to order a meal just for myself. Thanks Dad :)
Back in Sevilla now and our host mom prepared some soup and eggs for Amanda/I. Unpacking and going to classes tomorrow.
