Paris...I Will Miss You

Today is our last day in Paris. I'm not going to lie....I am very sad. I've grown to love Paris, it was my home for the past month. I am excited because in the morning I am leaving for London!

Today was spent doing some last minute shopping and sight seeing. We spent the evening packing and then watching the soccer game at the local Toast & Pizz (a local pizza place). It was a great way to relax with a bunch of friends! Then Tyler and I walked around La Defense and climbed the stairs of the Grande Arch. From the top there is a great view of the Arc de Triomphe. It's sad to think that I wont get to see the beautiful lights of Paris anymore. The city is so beautiful and amazing, it's going to be hard to be back home.

Yesterday a group of us girls visited Sacre-Coeur, which is a beautiful white church located at the highest point in Paris. It was such a great view and an amazing church. I really enjoyed it. Then we walked through the scary "red-light" district so that we could see Moulin Rouge. It was a very interesting part of town but it was cool to see the famous Moulin Rouge. After finding a little nicer side of town, we enjoyed a nice lunch at a sidewalk cafe.

I've had such a great time in Paris, I wish we could stay forever! I do miss home and my family though. It will be nice to see them when I get home on Thursday!!!

I guess that's all from Paris....I will try to write while I'm in London, but I don't know if I will get internet there. If not, I will write as soon as I get home.
