Climbed another set of stairs- 366. It was gorgeous at the top! Went out for an amazing dinner- Brennin was in love with the bacon salad. Saw the chocolate museum which was really interesting - got free samples ! Roamed the streets and bought a cherry flavored beer, sat near a windmill and took it all in. Overall excellent first day.

Arrived in Bruges - bus only took 3 hours and was pretty nice. It is so beautiful here ! I absolutely love it. There is a chocolate store on almost every street, beautiful buildings, canals, and so nice and quiet after leaving the crazy city of Paris- it is a really nice change! We only have 2 days here so going to try and do as much as possible. One plan is to climb yet another tower- this one has 366 stairs. After all the stairs in Paris this will be easy !

Busy few days! Yesterday we saw the palace of versailles and the very extensive beautiful gardens- it was a long train ride to get there (about an hour) Today we are going to the catacombs and yet another museum. If time permits we are also going to visit the chocolate museum ! It looks pretty cool. Tomorrow we leave for Bruges - Belgium at 8am. Im excited to go onto a new city, Paris can get so crowded and people can be rather rude.

We saw the louvre yesterday, it was amazing ! We saw a million statues, Egyptians, historical figures, the Mona Lisa, and the list goes on. It was a long day, I was pretty whipped, still felt a bit of the jet leg because I hadn't had a good sleep yet- feeling much better today ! Slept in this morning which was nice, attempted to blow dry my hair with no luck with these outlets ! The plan today is to see the Eiffel tower, i am so excited !

Another cloudy/rainy day. Attempted the incredibly confusing metro today ( I think we are slowly getting the hang of it- going back we made no mistakes!) went to the louvre... it was nice on the outside but for some unknown reason it was closed, so found the cutest cafe and had breakfast and headed to Norte - Dame. This area was exactly how I pictured Paris (our hostel area is very tight..) The church was amazing and we got to hear a mass. We than waited in line ...
