Today was my last day in Paris and Europe. We slept in a little bit later this morning (finally) and went to mass at notre-dame, the strange thing was that tours were going on during mass. After mass we walked around the cathedral and found the Shakespeare Co. Book store where I think a few authors used to go to write?
After notre-dame, we walked toward the arc du triomph to watch the tour de france. There were so many people; we had a hard time seeing the bicyclists but we did get to see a glimpse of them. The most interesting part though was talking to people from all over the world while we were waiting for the bicyclists to arrive. We met people from Norway, Denmark, Spain, Belgium and even some Americans. There were a lot of Texas flags too, apparently Lance Armstrong is from Texas, I didn't know that.
Then we came back to the hotel and went to dinner inside a mall near the hotel, the mall was so futuristic and modern, along with all the buildings in our area.
It's bittersweet to be leaving Europe tomorrow. I've had an amazing time and learned so much. I've also learned how grateful I am to have the life that I live back in the states though!! This seriously has been a wonderful experience for me, I've loved every minute of being over here!!
But I'm more than ready for some twice-baked potatoes and american steak :)
Au revoir Paris!
