We started our spring break off in my favorite city yet, Paris! I loved everything about it!! The first thing we did was go straight to the eiffel tower. After waiting in line for a decent amount of time we were finally able to climb to the top of it. The view was absolutely amazing. I was shocked when I realized that they even had bathrooms, a convenience store and a restaurant all the way up there. If you walked toward the center of it they made the floor out of only glass which, was really cool. Once we were on the ground again we were starving from all of those stairs. I ordered a ham and cheese croque for lunch which, was delicious. Next we went to see the Avenue of Champs Elysees. This is a long strip with all high end shops along it. It felt comparable to the Beverly Hills from the United States. While walking down the street we stopped into the biggest Louie Vuitton store that exists in the world. Right next to it was a Laduree (macaroon store). We each left with our own personal stacks of eight colorful cookies. My favorite one was the plain vanilla. At the very end of this street we found the Arc di Triomphe. For our last stop of the day we climbed to the top of this building to watch the sunset from its roof. It was gorgeous with the outline of the eiffel tower in the background. With our first dinner we all split a side of french fries, of course.

For our second and last day we decided to first go see the Notre Dame. After we got baguettes with ham and cheese and then headed toward the Louvre. We walked all around this maze of a museum before finally finding what we truly went there to see: the Mona Lisa. It was a lot smaller than I had expected. Luckily for us our next stop, the love lock bridge, was right outside of this huge museum. It was upsetting when we saw that the whole thing was pretty much boarded up. Apparently it was getting too heavy and they were worried that it was going to break. We still managed to find a good spot to put our locks though! There was no way I was leaving there without doing so! We were each obsessed with our dinner this night: chicken cutlets with green beans and arugula salad. Once it was dark enough we headed back to the eiffel tower for a second time to see it all lit up. It was even more beautiful at night, if possible!! We even got to see its light show which is when it flashes lights for a few minutes straight as if it were sparkling. I didn't want to leave.
