Paris, Day 4

(7:30pm Paris Time)

Paris is absolutely amazing! Lizzie, David and I would like to thank our parents for giving us these fantastic memories!!
Our days have been a blur of crepes, baguettes, parks, museums, and long strolls along the canal.

However, today we decided to switch it up and go to the Catacombs to see a bunch of bones of dead people (why? I don’t know). I was a little creeped out so to get my mind off of things David decided we should scare Lizzie. So we ran ahead and hid behind one of the corners.

When we heard Lizzie’s voice we jumped out screaming. Our screams were soon joined by more screams, but unfortunately not Lizzie’s. We had accidently scared the lady that had been walking right in front of Lizzie. Not only did she not find it very funny, but we also got yelled at in French by the security guard and we still had to walk the remaining half-mile following the poor scared lady, being tailed by the angry security guard and surrounded on either side by dead people.

After that, we walked to the nearest park, dipped our feet in the pond in front of a gorgeous palace and ate bread - so much for trying to switch things up, I think we’ll stick with this for a while.

So far, our favorite memories are: shopping at the farmer’s market (fresh bed, buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and basil), making the most delicious sandwiches ever and eating them under the Eiffel tower at night, a canal cruise along the Seine, leaving the catacombs, watching the street performers in front of the Notre Dame, the four-hour walking tour (we walked seven miles, ouch!), and eating. I would like to note here that I had the brilliant idea that I should devote the rest of my blog to food, and just write about what I eat everyday but Lizzie and David talked me out of it. So to those of you who really wanted to hear about the delicious open-face baguette with cheese, tomatoes and black olives cooked to perfection, or the carmel ice cream that rivaled Bi-Rite’s Salted Carmel or the tomato and goat cheese crepe…you have Lizzie and David to blame, sorry!

Love you and miss you all!!
