Our last day we went to the Eiffel Tower, a local market,Notre Dame, Arc de Triomf, and then the sex side of Paris to see the OUTSIDE of Moulin Rouge. My final thoughts on Paris are great crepes, they need public bathrooms because I literally had to go at the most inconvenient times which made traveling there hard so I tried to not drink anything so I wouldn't have to go and that made me tired and my head ache, big rats, lots of Ferris wheels, too many cheesy souvenirs, lots of bread, good hot chocolate, paranoia of being pickpocketed in the metro, and saying Merci with a lisp because people speak Spain Spanish with a lisp. Switching from Spanish to French and then back to Spanish really threw me off because I didn't know any French so I was embarrassed that I couldn't even attempt the native language. Paris was great and now that I got the big touristy things out of the way I would like to visit again to do the catacombs and anything else I missed, plus exploring more local Paris areas and seeing the French countryside
I'm studying abroad for my freshman year of college at Florida State University in Valencia, Spain! I will be traveling on the weekends and taking longer trips over the fall and spring breaks. I am so excited to explore and meet new friends!

Day 29: Paris Day 2
The The Palace of Versailles: we saw the palace, gardens, and Marie Antoinnette's apartment. My suggestions for going is to
rent bikes or get the golf court because YOU WALK A LOT! By saving time and energy, you can enjoy the palace more and not focus on your aching feet and stomach. That brings me to my next tip which is to bring your own snacks because they are expensive. It is however worth buying the overpriced hot chocolate because it's so thick and yummy. It literally tastes like melted pudding since it's so rich and thick. Waking for miles on an empty stomach is the worst. Versailles pretty much took all day (not including the time wasted being stuck on a train for a couple of hours because another train is stuck so you can't go anywhere but luckily I took advantage of this obstacle and slept)but we had to fit a lot in a short time period so we went to The Louvre and Lock bridge. I was really sad that they took down the lock bridge but they left the locks on the stairs so of course we had to leave our mark. We went to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night since it lights up and gives a light show the first 5 minutes of every evening hour. The day was extremely long and exhausting but one of my favorite days on my abroad trip.
