So Im on a computer in my hostel in Interlaken, Switzerland! Our laptop isnt picking up the wifi, so I cant post pictures :( Ill do it in a different post. Also this keyboard is in german! Its funny! The y and the z are switched and the exclamation point isnt in the same place...neither is the apostrophe key. So if this post has a lot of bad punctuation and mispelled words, then thats why. öäéà£üè...theres some fun symbols for you!
So to try and finish off Paris, the second day we went to Sacre Couer! It was a bit north of paris and it was huge!! We got a little lost along the way, despite its massive size, but we got there eventually. Standing on the steps, you can see all of paris! Well not all of it, because some trees were in the way, but it was still cool. I think the view from atop the Notre Dame was cooler though. After Sacre Couer we hopped back on the metro and went to MOULIN ROUGE!! Stephanie and I were so excited, because thats only like our favorite movie! We were such tourists and were singing the songs and taking a million pictures, ill post them later. After Moulin Rouge we went to THE EIFFEL TOWER!! We got some fruit and cheese and some really bad wine that we ended up throwing away, and sat in the grass and watched the sunset and the eiffel tower light up. THEN, it got all sparkly, and we went to the summit! It was so awesome to be on top of the eiffel tower!! We headed home, and we had to switch hostels, and i took a shower and it was THE coldest shower of my life, I thought I was going to get hypothermia. But when steph and emily took one the next morning it was hot, so either im stupid or it wasnt working, i dont know.
Our third day in paris, we had to bid Emily farewell *tears* and we headed to the Lourve late in the afternoon. On the way I got a little mini quiche, oh french cuisine. Steph got this raspberrz torte, it was delicious! The Lourve was really pretty, and hugeee! We got a million pictures, I saw mona and got so tired walking around. Im pretty sure we insulted the artists because we did the poses of the statues when we were taking pictures; it made us laugh at least :)
After the Lourve, we went to the Arc de Triumphe. It was way bigger than I thought it was going to be. The roundabout that surrounds it, is insannneee! Im surprised I didnt see a million accidents, it was pure madness. After the Arc, we went to this Fondue place we were trying to find the previous day near the Sacre Couer. It was such a cool little place!! It was small and we got there right as it opened. There are just like two long tables inside and you have to step on the chair and hop over the table. We made some friends and we got cheese fondue and they got meat, and we all shared. It was delicious!! Its funny because they serve wine in baby bottles! Its something to do with the fact that wine glasses get taxed so they decided to serve it in baby bottles. We had a great dinner, and by the time we left, there was a line outside waiting to come it!
We then headed to the train station because we had a night train to Madrid. We get to the train station and realize we`re at the wrong station! We had to haul butt across town via the metro and we got to the correct station just in time...phew! We get on the train and we didnt reserve a sleeper in time, so we had to sleep sitting up in chairs the whole time. Luckily they reclined, so it made it a little better, but still i didnt sleep that well. And I was paranoid the whole time about my bag getting stolen. But we got to Madrid safely and had all of our belongings, so it was all alright.
Hey casey, I hope your dog search is successful! Ive seen lots of dogs here...they`re such angels and I want to take all of them home with me! Everytime I see one I do a high pitched voice and think of you.
Well, Ill make a different post about Madrid, its kind of hard to concentrate in this room cause there are several people in here. I hope all is well in the states!
