Christmas Eve in Paris! :) We woke up today and got our daily coffee and Ham and cheese sandwich from this cafe by our hotel..so so good..french bread is amazing:) Then we hopped on the metro to meet Mark and Jen at the Louvre!! We got there and took a ton of pictures an then met them inside. Inside was crazy..It was visually overstimulating..I was a bit overwhelmed actually. I dint know what to focus on..All of the pieces are so amazing ..you really need like 3 days to walk through and fully appreciate everything. But it was still amzing to be there..and we saw the Mona Lisa and got alot of pictures of everything..so it was a good day:) Then we went to get some wine for our Christmas dinner back at our friend Jen's hostel. jen is a friend we met our first night in Paris..Mark knows her, and she actually plays for a team in Austria in Britty's league..small world..but ya so we got to the hostel and there were just a ton of people there..all young tourists..and all the people who worked there were our age and doing like a work abroad program..so they spoke good english:) So dinner was greeat..we had salmon, mussels, turkey and really good ice cream for dessert:) Then we got in trouble a few times..once for bringing in our own wine..and then Brittney got yelled at cause she popped the champagne and it was soo loud..haha after our dinner we went downstairs and kareoked for the rest of the night..we made friends with pretty much everyone down there..there were a bunch of australians who we had so much fun with. o we stayed up like all night doing that..then we got on the metro around 6 am..but i couldnt find my coat anywhere and it was soooo cold!! I had on a short sleeved shirt and my scarf and Britt's scarf..so i guess i looked kind of homeless..so we get on the metro and we're next to this guy ..and he was sleepin..but when we got on..he woke up, and looked so startled by my appearance..and he was the one that was homeless! So he starts talkin to me in french..and handed me a glove off of his hand! Yes..one glove. Then a couple minutes later he hands me the other one..but sais that he wants them back before he gets off. Then he offered me some of his drink..which was orange juice in a waterbottle..and i'm pretty sure it was mixed with vodks..so i politely declined haha..then he offered me some change!! Like he reaaaally felt bad for me! I was like wow..what the hell do i look like right now that this guy thinks I'm so much worse off than him? hahaah so that was defientely a trip highlight..Mark and Brittney were dying..so the rest of our trip we were always offering eachother 1 glove haha..So yaaa great Christmas Eve for sure..More Later!
