Day 11

So, to finish up last night, we headed to a delicious café that was over by the Opera. I had veal and penne pasta…it was very, very good! I wasn’t sure how it’d go, but I loved it. I feel like I have really eaten just about everything here that I’ve seen as weird or different. Except foie gras. I just don’t know about that…anyways, we headed home and relaxed for the rest of the night.


This morning, I had to work on school work. Blah!! Hillary and Bria went to the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre…I think they did the fastest tour of both attractions ever! They didn’t go all the way to the top of the Tower, apparently, and they only went to see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. To each his own, I guess. I went and met them for lunch (I had an omlette and pomme frites) over in the Jewish Quarter. Lots of cute shops and boutiques. I finished up my shopping for the trip, finding a few last minute souvenirs and of course, a few purchases for myself. I think it’s time to be done spending the euros! I headed back home while the girls finished shopping. I was so proud of myself—I found my way home all by myself, and didn’t get turned around or lost once. Now that I finally know where I’m going here, I have to leave and head home. Isn't that always the case!

Now, I need to finish up my last paper that’s due for this week, and then tonight, I think we are going to eat a late dinner to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle at 11pm. I’ve only seen it once, so this should be a nice dinner to end my trip. In the morning, I’ll need to head to the airport around 9:00am or 9:30am, and then I’ll be headed to Chicago and back home!
