Today was another crazy Paris day!! I went out with Nicholette, Amber, Kayla, Buoyana, and Sam and Jack. We got into Paris around 9, got some bottles of wine and hung out around Maumar, a street with a lot of bars. It was really cool because we all talked about life back home and also got to share some drinking games with each other. I learned some good ones I can bring back to America hah. Soon we headed to a bar and got some mojitos and listened to music. The...

Today was a crazzzyy day in Paris! It was the music festival so after class we all booked it to the metro to go into the city.

I learned I have the worst French pronunciation ever but hopefully that changes with more practice. My teacher is awesome and he makes the class fun so we all just laughe...

Today was another day of exploring Paris! Tori, Decker, and I got on the metro and decided to just get off at a random stop. It was cool because we ended up somewhere that was definitely not touristy at all. After walking down some streets for a bit, including what we assume was a version of Little Italy we were starving and decided to get lunch at a little café. Thank goodness we have Tori as translator because since it wasn't such a touristy area the waiter ...
