Paris Part 1

We arrived in Paris last Friday via the Eurostar as a whole group for our educational field trip, which is by far the best field trip I have ever been on in my life. We had dinner as a group and then were released for free time for the rest of the night. A group of us went straight for the Eiffel Tower where we would end up spending the rest of the night there hanging out and taking pictures. As we were walking away we saw a crape stand so of course I had to stop and get one. I got a banana and Nutella crape and honestly it was all it's been cracked up to be and more. I loved it. Granted after I ate it I went on a jog because I felt way too stuffed to walk around. We then made it back and went to bed because we had a packed day set for Saturday. On Saturday we went to Versailles and The Louvre. Versailles was honestly unbelievable. The entire estate was impressive and the size of the whole area was unreal. We broke down and rented a boat for an hour and took it around the canal there, which was awesome. Also, right before we left for our field trip we just finished studying this time period in France's history so it was cool putting what I learned into real life. We then headed to the Louvre where we got a 2 hour tour which considering how big it was it wasn't near long enough of a tour. Our tour guide told us it takes 3 months to see the entire Louvre, and even she has just recently seen all of it. The Monalisa was a bit smaller than I imagined and honestly it wasn't my favorite part. I have never been a big artsy guy but I was in awe the whole time. After that some of us set out to go see the local soccer team's, PSG, stadium. Unfortunately we were about twenty minutes too late because the match that was going on had just sold out, but I was pleased to add that to the list of stadiums I've seen. Overall my first two days in Paris were awesome, and it would only get better from there. Side note, I'm currently free traveling on my fall break with some of the guys and will be until November 3rd, so the updates will be randomly done when I find time on wi-fi. Hope all is well back home.
