Paris Day 4…the end of our visit

We woke up to snow on the tops of buildings. It wasn’t much but pretty cool it was snow in Paris. By the time we packed up, stored our luggage in the luggage room, more like a cave and made it outside all of the snow had turned into mush and was really dirty and gross. It kind of rained and misted the rest of the day. Luckily I had taken my “American jacket” as I like to call it, my “snow” coat. It was warm though and kept me dry.

Jess and I went back to the Pret-a-Porte fashion fair, which turned out to be a good decision. We were the only ones out of the group to go back. We saw lots of great pieces with very interesting details. We also saw a Barbie anniversary exhibit where different designers designed outfits for Barbie. There was also a section that was accessories where there were awesome bags, shoes and of course my favorite…jewelry. I decided that I must do big things with my life and goals and want to be at the Paris Pret-a-Porte in less than 10 years. I know I can do it, I just need an investor. Anyone interested 

After leaving the fashion fair we headed to Notre Dame, one of the few Paris sites we had missed. We got a little lost and walked around the Justice of Paris building which was a huge block with lots of cops. It kind of made me nervous. They have these vans that they transport cops in and they are all blue and intense looking and the cops just sit in there when they get to their location. It made me feel like I wasn’t supposed to be walking where I was. We eventually found Notre Dame and it was gorgeous. The architecture is amazing. We went inside to see the stained glass and inside architecture. It was a nice break from the rain and to sit down since my legs were super tired. I lit a candle and said a few prayers inside the gorgeous church. They had this really neat nativity scene on the wall that lit up with each scene of the nativity. It was very interesting how they mixed old with new.

 

Let me update you on the great French food of the day:

Breakfast: Spinach and goat cheese quiche from our favorite deli( which I ordered in French because they didn’t like it when I spoke English)

Snack: Crepe from a road stand with banana and nutella inside…yum

Lunch/Dinner: Chicken curry panini again from favorite deli.

It was delicious food for cheap which was great for the last day.

 

Journey to the airport: LONG, exhausting and of course drawn out because everyone was there. We got there super early, had to wait to even check in. Waited some more after getting our tickets. Our plane was delayed so we didn’t even have a gate. I took a great nap. We eventually got a gate, waited some more and our plane finally left 1 ½ hours late. We eventually made it home. Ragged but telling stories of a great weekend. Time for class…
