This was our last week in Bonn... so sad. It funny to think that we have been here for 4 weeks already. Even though this feels like a long time, we still have so much more to see. We only got a little taste of the cities we visited, and yet there are so many more. My host family kept telling me that I was here for such a short time and that they couldn't believe I was only going to be here a month. To me that seemed so long to be away from home before, but now I realize how short a time it is.
This weekend most of the 15 went to Paris for the weekend. We almost didnt make it though; the trains we wanted to make reservations for were all booked! Luckily, we were able to find a train that left a slit bit earlier, with a few connections, and we were able to fulfill our weekend plans.
We had only one day to see Paris, so we picked out the high points and made a plan. Everyone was to meet in the lobby of the hotel at 8am and we would make our way to the Louve! On the way we stopped for breakfast: crepes. Mine was ham and cheese...a mountain of cheese. Not the best crepes I've ever had, but maybe I'll try again tomorrow. So, we arrived at the Louve at around 930ish. Not very crowded. We spent 2 hours in there and only made it through one wing... its huge! Other sights included: Notre Dome Cathedral, Champs Elyeese, Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower! Getting to the top of the Eiffel Tower is quite a feet. After climbing what seems like a thousand steps, you reach the 2nd deck. From there you must take an elevator the rest of the way. All of this... totally worth it.
