Paris 2

Tuesday night we were allowed some free time after the Eiffle Tower to find dinner. Given a curfew of midnight, we all manage to find ourselves restaurants to dine at. Rene and I found a little italian place where we shared tagliatelle pesto and a delicious pizza, but decided that this wasn't french enough we left after to purchase off the street a baguette, nutella, and frommage to eat back at the room. Having still a lot of time for our curfew however, we met up with Tarek and Larkin and attempted to find a spot where we could watch the Eiffle Tower twinkle every hour, but because of our distance from it we were unsuccessful and managed to waste an hour and a half of walking around Paris.




On Wednesday we went to another museum that had many artifacts, such as the Roman Baths and little keys and enfant toys. We also saw a grand tapestry with unicorns on it and a lot of ornate jewelry. On our way out from the museum, we passed the statue of Montaigne where we rubbed his foot for good luck.







On our way to the Arch de Triomphe we encountered a slight problem at the train station. Having all of our luggage with us, we could not find a locker or anywhere to keep our things. So we cancelled the trip the the Arch and made a rotation of luggage watch in groups of two at the train station so that everyone had time to go out and eat lunch and do some shopping. Most of us did manage to make it to the Arch though, for of course everyone wanted to check out the stores on Champs Elysees.
