- Hotel Richard: 50 euros for 3 nights. Great location for a great price but could've done without the blood on the sheets we rented. Also should have asked them to put a seat on the toilet. The woman at the front desk didn't speak English or Spanish so the only thing we ever understood when she yelled at us was that we were "young shit heads."
- The Louvre
- The Catacombs
- Notre Dame: The sign next to the souvenir candles said to give offerings if you wanted to. Sarah took it seriously and thought she was so lucky to bring home some free candles.
- Eiffel Tower: On our way, things didn't go as planned. Tickets didn't work, trains didn't come and we got lost. Finally the metro got to the correct stop at exactly midnight. We thought we missed it for sure but when we got off the train, you could see the lights reflecting in the building across from the station. We were so determined we ran as fast as we could, heels and all, just for one glance. I'm still not sure how but we actually made it. As soon as we came up from the ground we could see it sparkling and it was literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen that I couldn't help but start to cry.
- The climb: Sarah made us climb to the top. For only 4 euros and no wait (vs. a 3 hr wait) we took the stairs up the tower. Everyone in front of us was wearing sneakers and Under Armor so naturally, we looked like idiots. My ass still hurts. So worth it though.
- The people: not as nasty as I thought...
- The food: Snails and Croque Madames were my favorite. It's impossible to read anything off the menu so we just picked things at random, hoped for the best and surprisingly, it never failed.
- La Duree: most amazing macaroons in the world. best 50 euros ever spent!
- Arc de Triomphe: the only way to get that perfect picture is to stand in the middle of the road with the cars coming.
