My parents came to visit me this past weekend. Last Wednesday, I flew to Paris, where my mom met me. We stayed with my cousins who live there. On Friday, we were Paris tourists. I will post some pictures below so you will be able to see some of the places that we went...which include the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, Notre Dame Cathedral, Champs-Elysées (the famous shopping street in Paris) and l'Arc de Triomphe. Then my dad came on Saturday, and we all flew to Strasbourg, where I showed them around the city. We stayed at a hotel across from the big Cathedral in Strasbourg so instead of sleeping in, we heard church bells all morning. I had such a great time; needless to say I was so sad to see them go! Finals are coming up in about 3 weeks so I am in the process of studying for those.
For Halloween, I was traveling back from Toulouse so I spent Halloween in a train station. Actually, it wasn't that bad because it was cool to see people walking around in their costumes. On my way back from Toulouse, I took a night train that had mini beds in it. However, I didn't sleep much because the lady underneath me snored the whole night! However, a friend of mine and her group had a mini Halloween party. I didn't know what to go as, so I just put a sign on my shirt that said "On-strike." (It's funny because of the recent strikes happening in France).
(For some reasons, the pictures uploaded to the side but I don't know how to change them).
A view of Paris from the second level of the Eiffel Tower.
Me in front of the Eiffel Tower. We went early in the morning, so there wasn't a lot of people there yet which means no one extra was in my picture!
Me and my mom a couple blocks away from the Eiffel Tower.
It was so cool that we could see the Eiffel Tower from my cousin's apartment.
