Today, Spain, tomorrow, Paris!

This week has by far exceeded my expectations of this trip! I always knew I would travel, but to do it so soon, and so impulsively, is insane! At the beginning of the week, my roommates and I decided we would go to Barcelona the upcoming weekend. But when we went to buy our plane tickets, we realized that Paris was the same price! So of course, here we are, in Pehr-ree. :) It's been such an amazing weekend. Unfortunately, the entire trip here has been nothing but complications. But somehow, someway, God has lead us in the right direction, and every problem was quickly solved (the taxi ripping us off, not knowing how to figure out the metro, arriving at the deserted apartment with no key or anyone there to let us in the gated entry...) Of course, when you're in Paris, all your problems seem unimportant :)

Our apartment is amazing! It's like a mini condo, two bedrooms and full bathroom downstairs, kitchen, living room, and half bathroom upstairs..feels so good to be living in Paris for a couple days. The first day, we went to the Louvre (art museum), where we saw the Monna Lisa painting! The next day, we traveled to the Eiffel Tower! Such beauty! We were lucky enough to see it before and after the sunset :) We also went to the cemetery that day, to see Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde..my roommate loved every bit of it, and we were all there, to share the experience with her. Not sure what's in store for today, maybe Disneyland, or the Arch, or maybe just sharing a Crepe in the midst of locals and tourists. Weird, but I'm actually missing Salamanca right now, excited to go home tomorrow morning :) But it's been a great experience, and I can't wait to travel to Italy and Greece sometime soon!
