"We'll always have Paris."

The last weekend in February, my friend Bud and I went to Paris! And it was spectacular. Just splendid. We left on the night of the 24th. We were supposed to fly from Florence to Frankfurt and then Frankfurt to Paris. However, that night we got layed over in Frankfurt because our flight from Florence to Frankfurt was delayed so we missed our connection. But we were on the first flight that next morning and didn't really lose any time. We got to Paris around 9am that morning, went and checked into our hotel and got some breakfast. After Breakfast we hit the ground running. We used the METRO the entire time we were in Paris. It was fantastic. So easy to navigate. That morning we went to the Louvre, which was fantastic. I love that museum. Bud and I are in the same Humanities class and we got to see pretty much all of the works we had studied the two semesters in Florence. We were very overwhelmed by the size of the Louvre. I had been before, this was Bud's first time to Paris. We got to see all of the pieces we wanted to. After the Louvre we went to Musee D'Orsay. This museum has mostly Impressionist and works from the Belle Epoque, which is my favorite era of Art History. After lovely strolls through these museums we went and ate lunch at the HARD ROCK in PARIS!!! It was fantastic. I got nachos and a coke with FREE REFILLS! So delicious. After lunch we went shopping. I got a Longchamp bag! I'd been wanting one for so long. That night we ate dinner and did the Eiffel Tower. The next morning, Bud went to Versailles and I went and got my nose pierced and went shopping on the Champs Elysee. Bud and I met for lunch and walked around before we had to go back to the airport. The plane rides back to Florence were quite smooth.
