Yesterday in Paris was absolutely incredible. We checked into our new hostel which is much nicer and actually has wifi, yay! We have our own room again and it's much less sketchy then our last one. After dropping off our luggage we had a picnic in the park (one of our favorite things to do) and walked around cute areas of shops and neighborhoods. We came back checked in and then got ready to venture to make a quick stop at the Moulin Rouge and then head to the Eiffel Tower.
The Moulin Rouge isn't in the best area, lots of shady looking shops but we made sure to go during the day and it was just fine. We snapped some photos and then caught the metro to the Eiffel Tower.
We took some day shots of the Eiffel Tower and stared at all the crazy people going up it. The lines were ridiculous and SO not worth it (although I could be biased with my fear of heights...) We were somehow able to find a cheap grocery store to get some cookies and wine before settling in the lawn to watch the sun go down.
The Eiffel Tower lit up gradually and literally sparkled every hour. Surprisingly while attempting to borrow a bottle opener we found another group from SJU doing the same thing! We took some photos and just hung out in front of the Eiffel Tower until the last train was leaving. It was SO much fun. It was by far one of my favorite nights abroad.
