What to say about Paris....its completely magical. I could have spent all four days just sitting and staring at the Eiffel tower, after probably two hundred photos I still do not think I took enough. We landed in Paris Christmas eve and met up with Kristi before heading to the apartment we had rented for the four days we would be there. When we got to our place we needed food and since all the stores were closed by then we somehow ran into a market and were able to get all fresh produce from them to last us a lifetime for really cheap too. Waking up on Christmas felt anything but Christmas-sy but it was our first real day in Paris so we hit the streets where things were more lively then I thought they'd be since Christmas day is their boxing day. We walked to the Sacre coeur and even went inside. From there we tried walking to the Arc de Triomphe but found out it was way too far so ended up having to take a tram. The trams are interesting since no one pays and they all jump the gate that is supposed to try and stop your from entering without a pass, we soon joined in this escapade. The Arc was super busy so to try and get a good photo we took to the streets where we were nearly run over but no worries we survived and have the photos to prove it. To celebrate Christmas we were able to do something very special thanks to some amazing parents we have. We had Christmas dinner in the Eiffel Tower! then to top it off we went on a river cruise then to Moulin Rouge to end the night. It was a Christmas I will never forget. The rest of our stay in Paris was very casual, we spent the days walking around seeing the sights and experiencing Paris life which was a nice break from the fast paced travels we experienced in Ireland. It was so great being able to experience all these amazing things with my sister I only wish I had more time with her but I am thankful that we got any time at all and were able to do all that we have done.
