Im finally back at school again after a long weekend traveling about paris and brussels..i did soo much this weekend i don't even know where to start..
thursday-Paris:
So we entered france knowing one word of french but we somehow managed to make it to make it to our hotel/hostel haha..that was an experience..our room was in the attic with a window for air conditioning a bed to share..it was depressing..but it didnt matter much because we didnt spend much time there apart from sleeping and mid afternoon naps..thursday night we went to see Damien Rice at L'Olympia theatre in Paris..which was the best concert i have ever seen..the sound was absolutely amazing in there unlike any other venue i have been to!
Friday-Paris:
We were tourists visiting all the magnificent places, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel tower, and more (see pictures) haha..and while we were walking we saw a crowd of people and of course out of curiosity we had to find out what was going on. after finding an english speaker we learned that we were outside of Eva Longoria and Tony Park's wedding!! we didn't see much so we left and moved on to our next destination. When we were coming back from the Eiffel tower that night our metro ended before our stop so we didnt know where we were. so while looking at a map to try to figure out where to go some french guy came up to me and said something in french i didnt understand and told him i didnt understand and went back to looking at the map and then he tried to kiss me! ahhhh.....i starting swatting my arms around and he left and then so did we..while walking on the street we saw him again and he walked by an touched my hair...it was disturbing and we pretty much ran back to our hotel...good times kind of...
Saturday-Paris:
We went to Jim Morrison's Grave and walked around different parts of the city for hours! The food was so much better than england you have no idea! pastries, crepes, paninis, baguettes, and the best dessert we have ever had!!
Sunday-Brussels:
Getting to brussels wasnt too fun but we managed. once we got there we realized it was a sunday and not much is open on sundays in europe and also we had no idea what to do or where to go in brussels. we found a map and just hopped on the metro hoping to find something..we failed the first time but after a bit of wandering we found this cafe which served amazing combinations of pita sandwiches..i had a pineapple, apple, corn, salad, cheese pita which despite the odd combo was delicious...and not too soon after eating at the cafe did we discover the heaven that is belgian chocolate (free samples in every place..)..after buying samples from 4 different chocolate shops we found the waffles...haha..yes thats right real original belgium waffles hot off of the grill. they were probably one of the most amazing things i have ever ate in my entire life! And they smelt so amazing too..
mmm..chocolate euros!
and of course the waffles!
brussels was really beautiful and i wish i had more time to soak it all in..
