Paris

Paris is beautiful, but I think I prefer the places we visited in England. The atmospheres are very different. Our hostel is lovely. Its a bit cold at night, but clean and has an amazing view. The other girls in our room are nice as well. We met a girl named Katie from Linfield - small small world. We went out and had a very nice dinner before taking a look at the light show on the Eiffel Tower. Its really interesting to see the tower sparkling with lights. We did a relatively early night in to prepare for the next day.
Today we slept in because it was the first day we didn't have to travel. We bought half a baguette for breakfast (we missed the hostel breakfast); it was delicious. Then we went up to Sacre Coeur. The view was amazing. The inside of the church is beautiful as well, unfortunately they do not allow photography or videography inside. We walked around Montmartre (sort of following the Rick Steves guide book) and got some crepes and saq Moulin Rouge. Then we went to the Arc de Triomphe and walked down the Champs Elysees. I think we are going to go back down there tonight to see it all lit up.
Thats all for now. I will add pictures to these posts when I'm able.
