Si. I mean Oui.

At the moment I'm actually in Italy but I wanted to catch up a little bit with Paris first. I've found that it's very hard to keep up with this blog, but now that I have a few days to relax, I may have a chance to upload a few things. Paris was great. It reminded us of home instantly because it was overcast and cooler. Go figure. We found Paris to be much better than Madrid. The food was great and we were just able to function better. Probably because it's the #1 tourist city in the world so most people spoke English, and by this time we were used to using a metro system and navigating on our own. The people were actually pretty friendly and a few times we were saved by the kindness of strangers. It was pretty hard in the beginning to get out of Spanish mode! I found myself saying "si" many times instead of "oui" and it was hard for my brain to stop thinking in Spanish. We were able to cram a lot into 2 1/2 days! I got to do so many wonderful things. My favorites would probably have to be climbing up inside the Eiffel Tower at night when it was all lit up, and seeing the Paris Opera House. I also really enjoyed my banana and nutella crepe =)
Here are some highlights of Paris in pictures:

It was also here in Paris that Melissa and I had to say goodbye to our wonderful friends we made on our trip. We all became family for 4 weeks, and we've seen each other at our worst and our best lol! It was such a pleasure spending time with you girls and I can't wait until our reunion! I am going to miss you girls! Love you!!
