Today Nicholette, Tori, Sam and I headed into Paris to do a little shopping. We started in Chatelet and then made our way to Pompidou to see some vintage stores. After that we decided to grab some food from a grocery store and have a picnic by the Seine! We got some sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and wine and headed towards the Notre Dame. From there we went down some stairs so we could sit right on a wall right on the water! Boat tours kept passing by and people waved and took photos thinking we were real Parisians. Except probably not we just wanted to pretend so we shouted out some French words. We were definitely on the wrong side though as the water kept splashing up and hitting us as boats went by. We didn't know how to get to the other side though but there were a ton of people over there making us feel very non-Parisian. Some guys from the other side started shouting at us to come over but we kept saying we didn't know how to get there. Eventually two of them came over and got us! There were both Parisians and it was cool to talk to them and their friends about life in Paris. One of them had just gotten back from Hungary so he told some interesting stories about his trip. They also were all our age so they talked about the schools they went to and one guy was even starting his own business in France. After we hung out for a little it got late and we headed to the metro so we wouldn't miss the last train!
