Bonjour Paris

Bonjour Mates! Welcome to the city of love, Paris, France! All my life I wondered why Paris is called the city of Love. At the end of this blog you will know the answer to this question. Once we left the train station in Paris we took the metro train to our hostel destination. Everything was going smoothly until we couldn't find our hostel. After walking around for 30 minutes asking people where our hostel was located, it seemed like no one knew where exactly where we were staying at. People from the area kept sending back and forth around the neighborhood trying to help us, but we were still lost. What made it more difficult was we were carrying our backpacks which got heavier as we kept walking around the city. With a little more patience and asking questions we finally found our hostel. This was a huge relief because we were tired, sweaty, and hungry - a bad combination when traveling to a new city. Once we dropped our backpacks off at the hostel we went to look for some food. We found a local restaurant around the corner of our hostel, and the price seemed pretty good so we decided to eat there. I ordered a hamburger with french fries, and the food was delicious and very fulfilling. Afterwards we walked around the area to see what the local area was about, and we found some unique shops that sold bakery goodies. The aroma of the desserts and bread were amazing. Every corner we saw there was a shop that was filled with tasty treats that were out of this world. So when you come to Paris you gotta try these tasty treats at the various shops. Remember when you are on holiday don’t worry about your diet just try everything you see because it is worth it! Well after a long day I must head off to bed, we have another big day in Paris. Oh yeah don’t worry in my day two of Paris I will tell you why Paris is called the city of Love.

Cheers,
Lee IV
