After a long day at Disneyland, today was another long day exploring Paris. Though I wished I could have slept in longer, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to be in such a magnificent city and wasting my time sleeping was not an option. With so many sights to see and such little time I was only able to visit a few things. Thankfully the Love Lock Bridge and the Lourve were located near each other and made it easier to see both. Since I was already so exhausted by the time I got to the Lourve, I honestly had no interest in walking around the actual museum. For me it was enough to say I was there and take a picture with the monumental glass pyramids outside. After the Lourve was a trip to the Notre Dame Cathedral. I must admit that after experiencing La Sagrada Familia it was hard for any other church or cathedral to top it. So of course I thought the Notre Dame Cathedral was pretty, but no where near the jaw dropping Sagrada Familia. It was already pretty late when I headed over to the Luxembourg Gardens, so my friend and I decided to grab McDonalds right across from the garden. Both my parents had told me to go to McDonalds and it was pretty cheap, so I thought why not! I didn’t notice any obvious differences between Paris McDonalds and US McDonalds; it was all the same to me. By the time we finished dinner it was already getting dark and we had told our friends we would meet them at the Eiffel Tower before it was dark. So although we were already outside the gardens, we unfortunately didn’t have time to go in. We made it to the Eiffel Tower when it was already dark and had the fortune of seeing it all lit up and sparkling. Being able to go up the Eiffel Tower was such an unreal experience. For so long I admired photos I saw of this amazing tower and now here I was actually in it. Even the photos I took myself didn’t look real. That feeling sums up how I feel about Paris. My trip to Paris was so unreal! I wish I had more time to see more things, but Disneyland Paris and the Eiffel Tower were enough to make this an unforgettable trip. Au revoir!
