So what to say about Paris... I love France, I really do. And my weekend in Paris was amazing. However, I'm still not very fond of the city itself. Am I the only person who doesn't head over heels love Paris??
The food in Paris was definitely the most remarkable and amazing aspect. I ate the most amazing croissant sandwhich in the morning. By far, the best sandwhich I've ever had. Had a chocolate pastry thing while sitting at a cafe, sipping tea, overlooking the Seine and the eiffel tower. Shopped at the Champs d'Elysee. Saw the Arche de Triomphe. Took an hour long night boat cruise on the Seine and saw all the sights of Paris from the river. Met a cute older Canadian Quebecois couple. Had an AMAZING 3 course supper at this random restaurant for 15 euro and a pitcher of wine for 11 euro.
Then had a Parisian night out going to Latin Quarter Cafe where all the servers are amazingly gorgeous and ripped men in booty shorts. So obviously, there was a huge crowd of women waiting to get in. We had to wait in line about an hour just to get in. When we got in, it was foggy, there were girls going crazy dancing on tables, chairs, everywhere, getting their friends the striptease shot from the servers, dancing to the awesome latin music. Then afterwards we met up with friends of Alison's and sat at a cafe for a while winding down the night before (finally and eventually) getting a cab home.
Then Sunday, after another great French breakfast, some great French cold meds, and Starbucks (!), we found some great shops and I got some kick-ass 20 euro boots before catching the RER and metro to catch the Eurolines bus back home.
All in all, even with the sickness, it was an amazing weekend. I love France. I can't wait to go see other cities. The food is fantastic. Loving the european adventures :)
