Yesterday was the perfect day in Paris. Not only was the weather better than perfect, we did so much you wouldn't believe it was all in one day! Went to Notre Dame first thing in the morning, walked around the church and then went up to the top of the towers. Not only another amazing view of the city but the most beautiful church you have ever seen!! After we walked down to the Louvre to check out some art work. Since we know nothing about any of the paintings, we went straight to the Mona Lisa. As big as the Louvre is, it was packed full of people but we still got to the front to get a good view of the little painting. We walked through the Michelangelo sculptures and eventually ended up in the section of the Greek Gods which was cool because we at least knew who they were. Thankfully my Italian citizenship allowed me to go into both the Notre Dame and Louvre for free!! After relaxing in a nearby park, we realized we could see the Arc de Tromp (spelling?) so we went for what we thought was a short walk. About a hour walk later we were finally there! 
After our long day Madison had to go back to the hostel because was still super sick and the amount of walking we did today couldn't be helping. However, my one goal was to see the Eiffel Tower at night so I took a pedi cab down there. I got a baguette sandwich, some grapes and wine and had a picnic at the park directly in front of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, the sun doesn't go down until about 11 so I had a lot of time to kill. Thankfully I ran into the 2 American girls who were right next to us in the hostel so I had people to be with which made watching the sunset behind the Tower even more exciting!! This morning we went to the Lover's Lock bridge, added a lock and our now on way to Spain!
