Day One

This city is so beautiful! The architecture on almost every building seems like it's meant for postcards. Today we went to the eiffel tower, Notre dame, and explored the city as a group. We didn't climb the Eiffel tower because the lines were insanely long, but it was still neat to see! Later three of us went back to Notre Dame for mass, which was absolutely magical. They lost me for a bit when the priests switched over to Latin, but the gist of everything was clear. It's incredible to think how many people have sat in those very same pews before me.

This is the start of what will probably be an ongoing list do's and don'ts:
Things the French do:
- wear man capris
- eat meals very slowly
- wear heels all the time

Things the French don't do:
- respect personal space on the metro
- leave tips
- this ones really not about the French, but the sun doesn't go down until nearly 10:00 here
