Paris

So last week we took a trip to Paris. It was fun getting there. We rented a car which ended up being a lot cheaper as well as allowing us to drive on the autobahn extremely fast in the six speed car the dealer hooked us up with.

First day we were they we walked around in the parks by the river for the most part. Really nice and relaxing. Then we went out for a nice dinner in St.Germaine. After dinner we were looking for somewhere to go for the night and found a bridge with around 300 kids sitting on it just having a spontaneous party. So we decided to simply sit on it and we spent the night there hanging out with the young locals.

Next day was the busiest tourist day I have probably ever experienced. Walking taken to a whole new level, also while running on very little sleep. In the morning we went to the Musee d'Orsay which was one of my favorite museums we have been to. Then we walked around through the parks some more, and went to Notre Dame, which was pretty amazing but I have to say the Dom in Cologne is more impressive. From their we headed to the Modern Art Museum which has all the usual inner components of the building on the outside of the building. The museum had some really cool stuff and some pg-13 stuff that was a little weird if you ask me. From there we went to meet up with my roommates parent's for dinner. This was proceeded by us going to the Louvre until it closed. The Louvre way to big to try and see in three hours we basically walked through it saw the Mona Lisa and would stop occasionally to look at something we found interesting. Then from there we went over to the Eiffel tower and stayed there until that shut down. Then it was back to the hotel for some much needed rest. On the third day we tried to go to the catacombs but ran out of time. It was time to head back and cruise on the autobahn. Short trip but a good one overall.
