We just landed in Paris and I met like 500000 Contiki people.. okay so like 45 but it felt like a lot haha... I was like "hiii I'm Jenna from San Diego State." I immediately met some really cool people.. Hannah Menke from Ohio University and Mallory Megown from Wisconsin! Such nice and fun girls.
We finally reached our destination... Paris.. We took a driving tour all around Paris where we got to see some things we could back to on our free time the next day.. it was soo helpful cuz otherwise we'd have no idea what to do. Beautiful tall buildings, Notre Dame, the Louve, Arc de Triumph...people runing across the streets, cars ignoring pedestrians, unusal shops with familiary products- bars, clubs, and much more!!
We first went to the hotel where I met my roommate- Katie Stetzenbach from Wisconsin. It was really cool meeting new people and learning different things about each of them!
The rest of the day was amazing! We were told about going to the Eiffel Tower but never expected to be going up it! We stood in a line with our group of 50 and got in sooo quick because we were in a group. We squeezed in the elevator tighter than a jar of sardines.. the first elevator was scary because it tilted up the leg of the tower.. then hit the second level which was beautiful.. I couldn't imagine we'd go any farther. We hopped on another lift and made it to the top!!! The view was amzing.. al ittle cloudy and windy but fabulous. I would have never guessed I would have been lucky enough to come back to Paris and go up the tower! We saw a propsal and they looked so happy and in love. The sun fell and we saw the sunset and it became dakr around 10 oclock.
Many videos and pictures later we were back on the bus after we watched the Eiffel's light show! I was definitely tired after a 30 hour day!!... way to start the trip out!
