Today we got up pretty early to go see the Eiffel Tower! We got there about 9am and walked all the way up to the 2nd floor of the tower. At first I thought omg we're really walking up there, but it was really cheap and it wasn't bad at all. Plus we got a workout haha. We got to the second floor and even paid to go all the way up to the very top, which was awesome since we got to see the whole city of Paris. It was beautiful.
Afterwards, we ate some wraps at a farmers market. I got a chicken wrap with some homemade sauce they made, which was delicious. Me and Rasam then split from Ellen and Phillip, since we both wanted to go see Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye house out in the suburbs in Poissy, one of the infamous architecture houses in the world. We all decided to meet in front of the Notre Dame at 6pm (including Noelle) so we rushed to the house since it was already 3. It took us an hour to get there and we only had an hour to view the house. It was beautiful and better than what I have read in my textbooks. It was awesome that were able to see the inside (for free) and we got to sit in the chairs Le Corbs designed. It was f***ing amazing. However, we didn't leave the house until 5:20 and we still needed to walk to the train station (about a 25min walk) to catch the 5:30 train in order to be in the city center of Paris by 6pm. So me and Rasam booked it - but right after taking several pictures of ourselves in front of the house haha. But we ran all the way to the train station on cobblestone, dirt and asphalt and just barely made it. A 25 min walk turned into an 8 min run. It was impressive but also tiring and it hurt lol. I got shin splits from that day.
But we ended getting to the Notre Dame around 6:30 ( getting lost and phone dying, so had to rely on maps). But luckily we ran into Ellen and Phillip, who were also late in meeting us. So it all worked out well. We went to a nearby subway to recharge my phone and see if Noelle was nearby, but she messaged me saying she wasn't planning on meeting up with us. We were okay with that. We then went to the grocery store where I bought plaintains, sour cream and milk and hit a few souvenir shops and headed back to the apt, where I made my friends a Nicaraguense breakfast for dinner. Afterwards we got ready for bed and slept early since we planned on waking up early again in the morning.
