My last day in Paris was bittersweet, knowing I had just visited one of the most beautiful cities in the world but that I would have to leave and head back smack dab in the middle of exam week. Sigh.
We got up for some breakfast and saw Nora off to the train station as she had an early train and then Emily and I went to check out Notre Dame. I know I say that every place I go is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life, but this one also makes the list. With beautiful stained glass windows, sculptures, and just some fantastic architecture, I once again fell in love with another famous landmark over here on this amazing continent. We spent some time meandering around, all the while I wanted to reenact the scenes from Hunchback ( just to liiiiiiveee one DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....ouuuuut therrrreeeee...so touching.) After a nice visit, we walked down to where the Louvre was again so Emily could see the glass pyramids and get some cute pics :-)
Then we grabbed a nice lunch and headed to our respective departure terminals to return t our respective countries and our respective lives. It's weird to think I won't see either of these lovely ladies for at least 2 months, they've been such great traveling companions and it'll be sad to live without them :-( But alas, life must go on and classes unfortunately don't cease according to my wishes....I think if I could have a super power, that'd be a contender....
Anyways I still had another three days off after my wonderful Paris trip which were unfortunately mostly spent studying and writing papers. But I did get to celebrate Almudena's birthday with her and her family which was very cute and I'm glad I got to meet them all before I left!
We're getting down to the wire here people. T-4 days until I'm state side! There's still a lot going on (Fundació Joan Miró and another visit to Sagrada are on the way) so stay with me for a few more days!!! Hope everyone's doing well, can't wait to get back to you all!
Besos!
