City of Love

No more elevators for me! Haha. Paris is great! There's fresh food and wine and girls everywhere. I thought London traffic was bad until I came here. Everyone seems to want to run me over, but I was always good at playing Frogger anyway. Thursday we all went on a sightseeing tour around the city and the museum d'Orsay, but wouldn't you know I accidently left my camera's battery in the room >:(. Then a couple of us went to the Arch de Triumph. It took three hours to get there and back. We stopped in the park along the way where there were a plethora of French kisses in action. People were laying down in the park practically about to get it on right there. Everywhere we go in Europe so far everyone is making out, super PDA, all over the place. I feel so left out! lol Paris is the worst so far; or the best depending on how you look at it. The crepes here are to die for! They have little places mixed in with the restaurants that will sell you crepes with nutella on them. BTW nutella is just like peanut butter, only it's chocolate and delicious. They also have this drink called Orangina. It is like sunkist or orange Fanta but made with real juice. We have been making sooo much potty humor with the name Orangina too lmao. Later that night, we all went shopping and got food to make in our apartment/hotel rooms. We also bought wine. It was cheap and it was good. Everyone brought their own bottle and somehow we managed to go through them all. It was a fun night. Me and one other guy went with some of the girls in the group to see the Eiffel Tower at night. It was spectacular! Then at the top of the hour it started to glisten with lights. There was a crowd of people under it sitting down having a wine picnic. We almost had a problem getting back, though. We rode the train there and it closed as we were making our way back. So we were stuck for a while in the middle of Paris and didn't know where we were. Eventually we flagged down a cab and rode back. Yesterday we were on a bus pretty much all day. We went to Chartes cathedral and the palace of Versailles. Chartes cathedral was really cool. There was a maze on the floor that people used to walk on and ponder things and stained glass windows. They also had a piece of Mary's veil. The best moment of all was when there was a flash choir of people in regular clothes. The sound was really magical though. Like angels singing. Versailles was huge, but not that great, they herded us through like cattle and closed before we were finished. The painted ceilings were extraordinary. Later we got in late and I finally got to eat some escargot and french onion soup. Cliche, I know. Then we all went to a club and I got to meet some French girls. We were working on breaking down the language barrier until everyone from our group came by and wanted to meet them too. Game over. Apparently they said I look like Zach Efron... I don't know what to say to that. European music was so weird. They were mostly white too so nobody knew how to dance. It was like a bunch of fish flopping around. I didn't even know or want to do that the rest of the night. Today we just bussed to yet another remote sight. just got back and it is now 7. We really haven't been able to see it all in Paris. Class is just getting in the way. Haha then again, that's what we're supposed to be here for.
