Paris!!!

My wings to Paris...yep that's how I roll. Obviously we had too much time on our hands during our lay over in Barcelona.
Our trip to Paris was absolutely amazing!! It might not have been straight out of the fairy tale storybooks, but we didn't let the cold and rain ruin our Paris adventures. We arrived at the airport and had to take a bus to the city, costing 14 euros, we new right away that it was going to be an expensive trip. Katy and I got so excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the bus! We've been told that Paris is the most romantic city in the world and it is pretty quaint. As we were arriving to the bus stop Katy nudged me and I said excitedly we are in PARIS...FRANCE. Her response... "I know! One of these days I might just end up holding your hand" LOL I understand it might be one of those things you had to be there for but it was pretty hilarious. :)




After getting lost for a little bit the first night, we had a good night's sleep in our hostel and got up to start our first day in Paris! There was a free walking tour that we wanted to check out but somehow we ended up with the wrong tour group. We had to navigate the Metro ourselves but somehow made it there in time to catch the free tour!

This is the Cathedral of Notre Dame!! there are more pics of this later.















Even the lamp posts were gorgeous. :) But really, that's one pretty light.









Yeah, we saw the Eiffel Tower and proceeded to take about a million pictures of it and with it. We may have gone a little overboard but it was the Eiffel Tower! How can you not? :) We stood in line to go up the Eiffel Tower but it was much cooler to look at than to be in. The tower was constructed in 1889 as the grand entrance into the World's Fair of 1900.







Those are some of the crepes we ate! Crepes are officially the best food in the entire world. We tried some with ham and cheese...yum... and Nutella an amazing chocolate spread. Be jealous :P

so my blogspot is hating me and erasing all of my pics so I will continue later.
