Today is our last day in this beautiful country. Tomorrow we are taking an early train to Germany in effort to book seats on a night train to Prague - our last new adventure!
Paris was amazing, just as everyone told us it would. Unfortunately, the Catacombs were closed while we were there so we were unable to visit and we also skipped out on seeing the real Moulin Rouge. (We will just watch the movie when we get back.) We spent mass amounts of time in the Louvre, visited Notre Dame, the Pantheon (super cool - highly recommend), saw the Eiffel Tower twice - once during the day and once at night - and walked around the Jardins di Luxembourg. It is definitely autumn in France; the leaved were changing and the city was beautiful. We are feeling the weather change and are bundling up more and more each day.
Yesterday we took the train to Reims, France where my sorority sister, Claire, is teaching English to elementary students. Luckily for us, she is on her fall break and is our excellent tour guide for two days! It has been so much fun catching up with her; last night we drank champagne simply because we are currently located in the "champagne region" and gossiped about life in general. It feels so good this late in the trip to spend time with people from home.
And I am spending the last portion of this trip sick with something. Yesterday Claire took me to the pharmacy and introduced me to a French drug similar to Sudafed; I hope it works its magic in the next few days :) Kirst hasn't caught it yet, we'll see how that works out. I will try to not cough on her.
Can't wait for Prague :) it's snowing there and should be gorgeous!
