*Before we left I kept hearing the Charles de Gaulle, the airport we were flying into, is always voted as one of the worst in the world. And now I know why. The entire place is one giant clusterfuck, and we had to about half an hour to get from our gate to the train station. Couldn't imagine trying to navigate that place with bags. One of my biggest regrets of the trip was not booking a Eurostar train into Paris...
*We get on a train from the airport, and a couple stops later this guy gets on carrying a microphone and an amp. When the train starts moving he starts singing "La Bamba" in French. At the next stop he goes around and starts trying to collect money for his "performance." He got mad at my friends and I when we didn't give him anything, but maybe try singing a little better bro.
*Had abosolutely no clue how big Paris actually is. Maps make it seem like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre are right next to each other. Found out the hard way its more like a 30 minute walk. Just a fair warning to anyone visiting there soon.
*Gotta love when words don't translate into a certain language. So walking through the Metro in Paris I saw these signs:

| REALLY creative title. |
*I ate unbelievable amounts in Paris, baguettes and croissants all day. But all the walking helped me from putting on like 10 lbs. Especially the hike up to Sacre Couer, which was my favorite thing we did. The weather was shitty but it still is the best view of the city.
Well I wish I had more stories, the rest of the trip is one giant blur though. Even though it was really expensive and the people were kinda rude, Paris was definitely one of my favorite trips. Wish we could've had at least one more day there, or been able to go out to Versailles. Just something else that still remains on the bucket list...
