YES I know I have been neglecting my blog...but obviously it means I am having a wonderful time here in the City of Light, right? :) Well since I last blogged (13 days ago), I spent February 14th, also known as Valentine's Day, drinking champagne with my friends at the Eiffel Tower, toasting to our single status :) We all hoped to see at least one or two proposals there, which was a complete fail. I did see a couple fighting though! One would think that at the most romantic spot in the most romantic city in the world, one would be able to see a few marriage proposals. Oh well!
Last week was just filled with tons of time spent at school...nothing much to report on otherwise. Friday, after a makeup International Marketing class, my friend Sam and I went to the Arc de Triomphe. I had never been there before and it was so beautiful! I also walked over to the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and Napolean's tomb. We then went to Notre Dame and walked around inside. No matter how many times you see these famous landmarks of Paris, it never gets old. You find something new and different every single time.
Saturday I went to Chantilly Castle (yes, like the lace or creme). It was wonderful
Sunday was just a relaxing day to sleep in and do homework. I did not expect that I would have so much to do! So far this week it has been uneventful, but I am going to Strasbourg, France this weekend, which will be my first official trip! For those of you unfamiliar with Strasbourg, it lies on the German-French border, so the architecture, food, culture, ect. has a very French/German mix, or so I have been told. Can't wait to report back on my trip!
I'll be sure to post on Monday when I am back :)
A lunedi!
