Today was free museum day! And also our last day in Paris :( We knew that everything would be busy today so we woke up around 7:30am and had our last morning breakfast of cereal, coffee and croissants... We packed up most of our things last night but threw all of our last minute things in our packs and then headed off. The Louvre opened at 9:30am and that was the first one on the list. We took the metro there and got there about 9:20am. It was raining this morn...

Meredith flooded the shower this morning :) Haha, it is definitely funnier hearing that the show...

It was 4 Euros to get in ... but it was well worth it. We went down a super long spiral staircase, and t...

Today was all about the Eiffel Tower! We woke up and made it to breakfast around 6:50am, and then fell took another nap till about 8:15am :) The Eiffel Tower was open at 9:30am and we wanted to get there fairly early to avoid any lines. By the time we both got up and ready it was about 9am and we headed to the metro station. Initially we were thinking about walking, but after looking at the distance and wanting to get there soon we decided it wasn't the best o...

What a fabulous first day in Paris! After reading the reviews of our hostel, the most common complaint was that breakfast ran out fast and early. And considering breakfast is free, Meredith and I wanted to take full advantage of it. So breakfast started at 6:45am and we were there at 6:47am :) Breakfast wasn't too horrible. They had cold cereal, croissants, jams and coffee. We ate and then headed back to bed, but only for about twenty minutes. I then showere...
