It’s finally started to cool down!
Yesterday was
probably the most eventful day I’ve had in Paris yet! I woke up and had an
absolutely fantastic breakfast that consisted of a ham and cheese omelet,
croissant, freshly squeezed orange juice, and coffee (which was actually an
espresso for some reason) with my friend. While we were eating I noticed that
one of the chefs had opened one of the cabinets in the bar from the INSIDE and
walked out of it. My friend and I had a good laugh about that, especially once
we saw him go back inside. The reason being is that in France, the kitchen is
sometimes located in the basement of the establishment, which may or may not be
in a cabinet! After breakfast, a group of friends and I went to go eat and
shop! Once we got to the department store to witness my first ever fashion
show, I sat down to observe the gorgeous models and their outfits. It was a
completely unique experience, certainly one I will never forget!
Afterwards, we all went to get food and
smoothies before our scheduled boat tour. We passed underneath the famous Love
Lock Bridge and observed fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower, as well as other
gorgeous architecture. Once we finished the tour, our group took a visit to the
Eiffel Tower. We were guided into a large lift that took us to the first level
of the Tower. Although the first level may not sound very impressive, it
allowed for a complete view of Paris from thousands of feet above ground. Many
people were actually terrified to be at such a height. There was the option to
go to the very top of the tower, but the line was too long and I went
sightseeing with another friend instead. Afterwards, in an extremely
sleep-deprived state, we all took the Metro back to the hostel. While waiting
for the Metro, one of my friends spotted a mouse skittering around the benches.
Although this event woke me up considerably, we all made it back to the hostel
in order to have a restful sleep after a very long day.
