Way back in January when this blog was a mere two months old, I wrote one of my most popular blog posts ever: Places To Go Bucket List. The list consisted of ten places, but I only really went into the first few, which I have checked off. Since then, the list has changed a bit, and I figured I’d finish explaining why I’ve chosen these places for my list.
Wow. I can’t believe I was in Paris this time last week, and now this has happened. My thoughts are with those affected.
I woke up at 6am on a Sunday morning. I think the woman I was sharing the hostel room with was pissed off at me, but from what I could tell, she had somewhere to be pretty early, too. Still, I completely understand not wanting to wake up to the sound of someone else’s alarm clock.
I love heights.
Am I afraid of them? Sure, I guess I have that healthy dose of fear that tells me to step away from an edge. But it never stops me from getting as close to the edge as possible. In fact, I don’t think I would love heights so much if I didn’t have that little fear inside. It’s what makes the “nice view” into something more. I guess you could say heights are my high.
I got a pretty good dosage today.
This place has terrible internet connection. Here’s hoping I don’t have to find the nearest Starbucks to post. (Update: I just needed a password. It works fine.)
Boy have I got a post for you. Get comfortable.
I thought it might be nice to have all the outfits I wore in Paris in one place, so that’s what this is. I’d love to hear about your favourites in the comments below!
I managed to fit in some last minute souvenir shopping before we caught our train back to London. We took our heavy suitcases on the Metro, and at the station (Gare du Nord, same way we came) we got some snacks and I bought lipstick that made me look like an assassin (according to Sarah). Then, we went through security.
Today we went for lunch on a Seine River cruise. We had good food as we passed a bunch of the famous landmarks, some that we’ve visited, others that we haven’t. There was live music and lots of wine and people waving from the sidewalks by the river. It felt very fancy.
I think I put off writing this post because I couldn’t bring myself to write the title with double digits. Has it been ten days already? Our trip is almost over!
Today was full of disappointments.
To begin with, it was a Sunday. Everything’s closed on Sundays. But you know, the morning started out alright. I woke up before Sarah so order has been restored, and we had some perfect croissants for breakfast. I didn’t know croissants could be perfect until I had mine this morning.
