Just eatin' sour gummies in front of the Eiffel Tower..nbd!

So I didn't do a longish post yesterday cause I was just too busy partying it up here in Paris!

Yesterday was a great day! Yes, I had class in the afternoon, but it was an awesome day for classes! I mean, you really should be jealous you didn't get to participate in our academic classes because in our walks class we did a chocolate tasting day!! Whoa-ho!! We each got to try eight different chocolates from different plantations. It was soooooooo delicious!! Definitely my favorite class I have ever had at college thus far

After class a group of us did a walk for one of our classes: we went to Le Jardin du Luxembourg. It was absolutely gorgeous!! The Palais de Luxembourg below is apparently where the Medici family lived there or something...for those history buffs out there!

After our walk, we went out to a sit-down (whoa fancy!) cafe for John's birthday. I had duck and sauteed potatoes with salad...of course I didn't eat the salad because I hate salad but it sure looked perrrrty!

Theeeeeeen, we ended the night right by going to watch the Eiffel Tower light up, and I couldn't even believe my eyes...I am actually in Paris and it is simply magical! I loved every second of it! After watching the sparkling tower look as if it were on fire, Kayla and I made our way home on the metro/train...and man was it sketchy!! Lots of sketchy people, ya know? So we practically ran through the metro and train stations and on the streets...that's definitely going to make any rapists or muggers think twice about messing with us, right? haha I think so.

Then today wasn't too exciting--kind of a normal day with classes, more walking, laundry and such, but Carly and I did go to this Fallafel stand pretty close to the institute building for lunch. Soooo, a Falaffel is basically like a pita with all these veggies and eggplant, mixed with these meatball- looking things that are actually like a bread/pinto bean combo thing, topped with a bunch of sauces. I can't really explain it, but all I can say is my life is complete now that I have tried one. :)

Oh, and I almost forgot the best part of my day! I bought some shoes. They weren't very expensive and I got them for my wedding!! They match both my hint of teal/blue color and the vintage thing I'm going for :) Do you like them??
