Its Day 16 of our trip and we're leaving Paris this morning. i regret leaving Paris so soon, its such a beautiful city, so much more amazing than i had ever imagined. I could certainly go another week of cafes, bakeries, cathedrals, monuments and of course, French champagne! We went on a scenic bus tour of the city sunday evening and all tried escargot, which we all had some fn with getting them out of the shells. The Eifel Tower at night is one of the most spectacular sights when it lights up. Yesterday during the day we all went walking around Paris and saw as many sights as we could, from the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Tuilleries gardens and the Louvre. of course, we couldn't see all of the louvre, apparently if you were to look at each artwork for 30 seconds and not stop to eat or drink, you would take roughly 4 months to see everything! Last night was excellent, the Cabaret show was brilliant, one of the funniest and most well done performances i've ever seen, and we all had lots and lots of champagne. We all thouroughly enjoyed Paris and i honestly can't explain everything we did and saw, but i cant wait to save up and come again. We're heading out to the Beaujolais Wine Region today and i think we'll all be a bit tired from last night, but hopefully i can upload some photos, i have lots!
Hope everybody is well!
