Well, I will have to say that Paris was amazing! If you would have asked me my opinion about it at 10 am on Saturday morning, I would have said that it is the armpit of Europe. When we first got to Paris, we had trouble finding Heather's boyfriend. She promised that he would be there, but out of the masses of people and the numerous overhead calls we failed at finding him. We all finally convinced Heather to go to the hotel, saying that her boyfriend was probably already there. When our cab driver stopped the cab and pointed to our hotel I was just a little worried. It seemed like it was not too great of a neighborhood. As we had promised her boyfriend was waiting in the lobby. Then we had to wait for the second group to get there. Jean had the voucher, hence we could not check in. We waited a couple of hours and they never came, so we started to worry. I decided to go up to the receptionists desk and beg for them to let us into our rooms. Luckily, they were very nice and let us into 2 of the rooms. After about 10 minutes of being in the rooms, the second group showed up.
The next morning a group of six of us decided to go to Versailles. We woke up really early so we could be there when it opened. On our way there we had train problems and we had to take a different route that ended up being longer. When we eventually got there, it was packed and we had no clue where to go. There were extremely long lines and it was frustrating.
After this, everything improved!! Tour guide Barbie(Beth), and tour guide Skipper(Ashley) came to the rescue. They got us a great tour and it let us cut in front of the long lines. Then the rest of the weekend improved! We got to see everything that we wanted and more. It was the most cram packed 2 days that I have ever experienced! I ended up loving Paris. So, you could say that Paris and I have a love-hate relationship!!!
