Last Day in Paris


Alright, so we just got into Madrid today, but let me fill you in on what happened yesterday through today!

Yesterday, we got up and ate breakfast at Young & Happy. They served us cereal with orange juice and coffee and a croissant and bread with jelly and butter. Pretty delicious. Then we packed and checked out of the hostel to take our luggage to the Austerlitz station to store for the day before we left for our night train to Madrid. After dropping off our luggage we went over to meet up with Jessica.



We went to the Jewish quarter of Paris and it was super amazing. Paris just has amazing stores everywhere. We walked by a paper store and then a pen and ink store and then another store just for paper. They were sooo amazing! For lunch, Jessica took us to this amazing place to get falafel. It was SO good. I've never eaten falafel that amazing before. It had red lettuce, with spicy sauce, cucumbers and I think onions in the pita bread with falafel balls. It pretty much melted in my mouth. After looking at all the awesome stores in the Jewish quarter we went to a major shopping area, LV, and such and such along with H&M, Zara, Blanco and such. Amazing stores, but it was really crowded and jampacked that day because of a flower display. But we were near the Arch of Triumphe (I think that's right). It was MASSIVE. HUGE, GIGANTIC, taller than a skyscraper in Chicago? Just amazing to see.

Then afterwards we hit up a Starbucks! I got a Vanilla frapucino but it just wasn't the same as the ones in the States.

Then after chilling we got on the night train!
