122 Days in Europe: Paris part 2

Day 101: SO tired!!!!

This morning we woke up bright and early and got a head start on the morning. We ate breakfast at our hotel which of course consisted of coffee and croissants. So good! Then we headed to the Louvre. We thought it opened at 8, but it opened at 9 and man did that line get long after we got in it at 8:15. I couldn't imagine the line later in the day. We got inside and hit up the Mona Lisa first and saw all the wonders of the Louve, at least the important stuff by 11:30. Then headed to lunch, had escargot. Went shopping for souvenirs. Then hit up the modern art museum and finally finished up with buying purses. Then we headed to the airport and had to repack bags, figure out how to get Kylie her ticket because it wouldn't print, and find dinner. Oh I forgot about the story on the train. We get on the train from Chatelet station and were supposed to go from their to CDG, but the stopped at the next stop and decided that they would go back to Chatelet. Good thing we got off though because a gal told us that it was going to the airport and it didn't. I wonder if she ever got to the airport. The other stories from the train include the man sitting next to me counting out multiple hundred euro bills and couple who were tweaking out. Pretty sure they had been using some hard drugs because she couldn't hardly keep her eyes open let alone stand and the other guy was acting really weird. But any way we then hung out and finally got on the plane. I sat by a really sweet couple that had just gone to Disneyland Paris and she gave me apple sweets. I think she felt bad because we didn't get pretzels, we got skipped. But I got a diet coke so I was perfectly fine. Once we got to Schipol we went down to our train and the first thing we here is some (American) guy yelling. Come to find out he had gotten his luggage stollen and was not a very happy camper. Then more bad news came when we found out that the tracks from Hoofdorp to Leiden was under construction so we had to ride a bus, more like a sauna on wheels. Finally we got home at a little past 11 and the first thing that happened was Brittany gave me a huge hug. I think she missed me. Then we recounted our trip had a snack and stayed up doing homework until 2:30 am. But that is that and now it is picture time!
