Eurotour day 5

I woke up from the fiasco of the night before feeling at least a bit more refreshed but ready to tackle another day in Paris. Unfortunately, our group was now one person less. One of the girls had made some bad decisions the last night, and had been sent home to Austria. 

We pretty much had free time all day. So right after breakfast I headed out with Crash, Johnny, Lucas and Emily to check out the famous Louvre museum. We spent a few hours getting lost in the underground maze of art. There are so many different halls and rooms filled with paintings, and sculptures and other unique arts. We of course visited the Mona Lisa, it’s a lot smaller than I originally thought, and a ton of the other famous pieces. We then went to the Saccre Courre, this beautiful, white church on a hill that looked over the whole city. On the way we passed this little market street and bought a small round of cheese and a fresh, still warm baguette. We sat in a park near the church enjoying our stereotypical French lunch. Below the church was a long set of stairs and this old hippie guy had set up a mic and a guitar amp there, and was playing tons of oldies for a huge crowd. It was so much fun siting on the steps swaying to the music. We also randomly met another exchange student who’s spending a year Barcelona there. The world is so small when you're a Rotary exchange student. At two Crash met up with a girl who had been his host sister earlier, and we all decided to go to this huge park in the city. On the way we passed by a really cool thrift shop and I bought a jean jacket for 5 euros! We finally got to the park and sat and chilled there for a bit. A coupple different bands were playing including a pep band which was interesting to listen to.
It was our last night in Paris and enjoyed it on an evening boat tour along the Sine. We passed under twenty-four bridges and by a few other big monuments. I actually endded up spending my last night in Paris at the police to file the theft of my wallet. Which wasn't too fun but had to be done.

All in all, J’adore Paris! It’s a crazy city , its dirty, smelly, and full of pickpockets but Paris also has a refined beauty that makes it sparkle. Literally. No wonder its called the city of love.
