Paris France, we win. I had such a good time and would recommend going to everyone. There is so much there that just has to be seen with your own eyes.
Here are some tips for anyone thinking about traveling there:
- go with people you can laugh with. There is lots to make fun of and it's easier if you don't have to alone. This includes yourself so pack thick skin.
- drinking games include: 1. Every time you see a statue of a person on a horse. *drink* 2. Oxidized statues *drink*
- remember you will most likely have to go down before you can go up.
- it's not hard to find people who speak English. Or when all else fails speak Spanish.
- don't let anyone touch your fingers or wrists
- take a breather on the steps of the arch de triumph and watch people dart out in the street and nearly get clipped by cars.
- just because it plugs in and works in America doesn't mean it will work in Europe. :(
- second breakfast exists in Paris. A big cup of coffee does not.
- if plans don't work out simply say, "oppsie poopsie" and move on.
- blaming the people you're with for all the wrong turns works. Taking credit for all the correct turns= duh! And be sure to rub it in everyone's face. Makes for better memories.
- do not. I repeat, do not visit Disneyland Paris. It will ruin Disney. Correction, it has ruined Disney.
- get cheap food and focus on desert. That's all France has going for it in the cooking department.
- lastly, all those must see places (i.e. Eiffel Tower, louvre, arch de triumph, etc) are in fact must sees.
I had a great time and can't wait for our next adventure. Even though I travelled with, "the stupidest people ever!!!!" <3
