Day 14: June 22, 2013 - Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, a Ride to the Tower, and a Ride up the Tower


It was really nice to sleep and have a good night. We woke up at 8:00 and got ready. We walked down to the bakery right by our hotel and I got a croissant and a chocolate donut. We met everyone in the lobby at 9:00. We were all wearing skirts and shorts because yesterday was so hot, ya bad idea. The weather lies to us haha it was so cold. Anyway, we walked to the Luxembourg Gardens. It was so beautiful! Everything was perfectly trimmed and nice. Kasee sat in "mud" (pretty sure it was poop...) and we moved to the next level of our friendship when I tide-penned her butt haha also, a bird pooped in Shelby's hair, we weren't having the best of luck.










We met back up with everyone and walked to the Pantheon. We found a creperie and I got a caramel crepe. It was very strong and a little too much but it was good.





We met back up with everyone and walked to Notre Dame. I went inside and lit a candle. We took some fun pictures then met up with the group again.







Shelby, Jessica, and I didn't really want to go to the Musee d'Orsay so we walked along the streets, went to the lock bridge again, shopped around a bit. We took a bike lift from the Musee to the Eiffel Tower! We asked the guy how much and he said he usually does €30 but he would make an exception of €15 for us so we split it and it was so fun! Plus the fellow was very hot haha he got really close to cars and we were all nervous we were going to tip over. It was much better than walking though.




We just hung out at the Eiffel Tower, got a crepe. I got the one with ice cream and it was amazing! We just walked around and browsed. We sat on a bench just enjoying the view. We met up with the group and went up the Eiffel Tower! I was freaking out, I don't really know why because I'm not really scared of heights. Lora was really freaking out so I helped her get through it. It was freezing but thankfully the top level had glass. It was so cool to see everything from so high up and especially the river. I'm really glad I went on it because now I can say I've been to the top of the Eiffel Tower.













Lora and I went down and got her a little Eiffel Tower then met up with the group. Nate took a group of us back to the hotel. We were all so tired, my ankles and feet were killing me. We got back and I showered and chilled. Jess, Shelby, and I went down to the lobby in our pajamas and got candy because we were starving. Crepes and candy, such a healthy day. I then tried to figure out how to get to Disneyland Paris by metro. We discovered we abandoned Cassidy at the Eiffel Tower so she had to take a cab so that was scary/funny because it wasn't me... Haha I'm not gonna lie, Paris scares the crap out of me! It's so dirty and all the guys are creepy! We got a goat call which was really weird. Our hotel is really nice but getting there is scary. We figured out how to go to Disneyland and I went to bed while everyone was in our room using wifi haha night! Hope everyone had a wonderful day! Shout out to my sister Al it's her birthday! She's amaze balls! Love you!
