She had SO much planned the whole weekend, exactly what I wanted and needed. We had so much to catch up on and we would be in Paris together- how cool!
I arrive at 12pm on Friday so had all day to tour around the place where Christie is living (she is also an AuPair). St. Germaine is so beautiful. We started in a garden just walking around and talking and i got my first few of the City of Paris and the Eifel Tower. We eventually sat down at a cafe and had coffee (ok i had a alcoholic drink christie had coffee) and we just talked about everything. We decided we would spend the night staying in with cheese, wine, baquette and macaroons (so good!).
The golf team would be proud, Christie and I ate 2 baquettes in town and then had 2 more later that night, they are just so good.. and we love bread.
our kind of dinner.
We woke up VERY early saturday morning and got into Paris around 10 for a full day of sightseeing. Christie thinks she was a horrible tour guide, and ill admit it wasn't in the perfect order but i saw what i needed to see (still need to go back though). First stop was la tour Eifel. Once i saw it i just couldn't believe i was there. After taking many pictures we were walking away and i must have looked back with a funny face to only have Christie say to me "dont worry Lauren it is still there." I couldn't help but laugh hysterically: it was just so flippin cool to be in Paris. in Europe.
I can't even remember our exact next stop, i just know we did A LOT of walking. Christie wanted to try to fit everything all in and i couldn't stop thanking her and apologizing: thanking her because she was such a good hostess, apologizing because she was doing so much walking for me. For all the sites i saw that whole day without a doubt Sacre-Coeur was my favorite. The view of Paris was so beautiful even on a cloudy day and the church itself is so beautiful. Christie talked about this so much so i was excited to see it even before i was there, it is her favorite place to and after seeing it, i know why.
I think its about time i post a facebook album. I have so many pictures i need to share and its annoying to do it here, aka im lazy to wait that long. On top of the Sacre-Coeur and la tour Eifel, was Notre Dame, Louvre, Moulin Rouge (located on a very kinky sex shop street). Yeah, those are all the popular places but there are so many pictures i have of cool street, breathtaking views and just experiencing life in Paris, France.
So all in all a fantastic trip. ate a lot of good food, had a lot of good drinks, and saw some amazing places. I will go back. I have to go back.
I wish i was a millionaire.
