Paris- In retrospect

5 days in 1 magical city with 3 great friends. They were possibly the happiest days of my trip.

Arrival- self made Nutella and banana crepes and 2 euro champagne: the party begins

Day 1- Verseille palace and gardens, got in trouble for sliding down the banisters and sitting on the grass, dinner in the Latin Quarter, tried escargot (actually good!), then Notre Dame at night, cold and rainy

Day 2- Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomph and Champs Elysee but everything was closed, Goodbye Oz, Moulin Rouge and the redlight district at night, stopped a bastard trying to pickpocket Adam (very proud of self), sexually harrassed, Metro stopped running, sketchy bus, walking and more walking and more walking, metro home, just about lost my mind, got home at 6am.

Day 3- 3 friends remain, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Dali Museum, took communtion at Notre Dame, laughed in the park, Shakespeare bookstore, falafel and fries, ice cream, hooka bar, goofy metro ride with plastic bags on our heads. Maybe the best day.

Day 4- Attempt to go to the Louvre, attempt to find mom's perfume, Opera house, Saint Michelle, happy hour with Mojitos, deep conversation at the B&B over wine

Day 5- Goodbye Mel, Goodbye Adam, off to Ireland
