Waking up early was hard but I was excited to see Paris! We took a Euro-star and two hours later we were in Paris! We quickly made our way to the hotel and immediately made our way to Notre Dame. On our walk to Notre Dame, we got to pass by the shops and restaurants that were by our hotel; It was a cute ally way filled with lively decor and great smelling food. When I first saw Notre Dame, I was blown away. It’s such a graceful looking building and it’s astonishing that the original building was first built in 1163 A.D. We had some free time before dinner, so Erin, Kareem, Kaleb, Alicia, and I walked around. We went inside a bakery for a quick snack and then started throwing a coin around to purposely get lost in the city. If the coin landed on heads, we went right. If it landed on tails, we went left. It was a great way to explore the city; we got to see some things we probably wouldn’t have been able to see if we didn’t get lost. While we were walking, a woman stopped Kareem and I; She started to speak to us in French but the second we told her that we didn’t speak any french she rolled her eyes and walked away. Kareem and I were very excited that someone thought we spoke French. After heading back to the hotel to freshen up, we went on a group dinner to “Le Petit Prince”. We got the full French dining experience. I ordered the duck, which as very good! Later that night, Erin, Kareem, and I decided to get lost again. We ate some really good parties and explored the city at night.
