\u2022 Forgetting to print some tickets and stopping by at a hotel that wasn’t ours to get them printed. \u00a0The hotel printed the papers for free, but we decided to give them 5 EUR for helping us anyway.
\n\u2022\u00a0Going to see Versailles and being slightly let down by how crowded the interior\u00a0was, which detracted from the beauty\u00a0of the place. \u00a0And then realizing that the outside park was actually free (I think it was free).
\n\u2022\u00a0Seeing a man at\u00a0Versailles trying to get out of one of the rowing boats that you could rent and falling straight into the pond water. Embarrassing!
\n\u2022 Walking into a group of ballroom dancers dancing out in a public area. These people were serious!
\n\u2022 Checking out a super posh mall and realizing that there are so many people richer than me!\u00a0It has a super\u00a0beautiful ceiling and had an awesome terrace that was free and had great views of the city.
\n\u2022\u00a0Finding a new neighborhood to explore and being pleasantly surprised on how cool it was. Finding a hole-in-the-wall restaurant to eat at that was delicious! \u00a0No way did I think the food was going to be good there.
\n\u2022 Eating crepes for the first time (in France\/Paris) and being slightly disappointed. I guess I chose the wrong place to try one out.
\n\u2022 Going to the Louvre once again, but just walking around the pyramid part and not going inside. Never seems to be a good time to visit the actual museum when you are only in Paris on a short holiday.
\n\u2022\u00a0Walking along the Seine and enjoying every minute of it. How beautiful is it to walk along this river? \u00a0Every part of it is so nice, perfect places to sit down and just enjoy the surroundings and view.
\n\u2022 Sitting down at a cafe near to a river (not thinking it was really anywhere special), ordering a beer, having a good chat, and then realizing that the beers cost 9 EUR each! \u00a0I guess they were more expensive depending on where you were sitting!
\n\u2022 Getting drunk after only one (big) glass of beer and then going drunk grocery shopping in a Paris grocery store. Good times!
\n\u2022 Loving the walking from anywhere in Paris and getting closer and closer to the Eiffel Tower. \u00a0It is so cool seeing glimpses of the tower peeking out from behind some buildings, like it is calling you to get nearer to it.
\n\u2022\u00a0Using different review websites to find new restaurants to eat at each day, having fun exploring all different parts of the city and being pleasantly surprised at the restaurants that were truly worth the journey to get there.
\n\u2022\u00a0Being overwhelmed by the crazy high number of tourists everywhere. So many Americans there, but also there appeared to be people from every other country possible as well.
\n\u2022\u00a0Experiencing one of the best meals ever eaten at a restaurant. Paris has so many good restaurants with amazingly tasty food!
\n\u2022\u00a0Realizing once again how cool the Paris metro system is. Such great design and art everywhere.
\n\u2022 Going to see Roland Garros for the third time in my life and loving every minute of it! This time my friend and I actually got some pictures with some of the tennis players.
\n\u2022\u00a0Meeting up with an international school teacher friend who I used to work with a few years ago, at an international school we both don’t work at anymore.<\/p>\n
