Alright I have a small little snapshot of time here so I'm just going to check in as fast as possible!! I'll start to recap the last 48 hours for you and if I run out of time then it'll be a great little saga to follow. :) I should preface this update, too, with a description of our hostel. We definitely got what we paid for, I'll tell you that. (We're really trying to watch our money!) It took me about two hours the first day when I was wandering alone through Paris to finally arrive at the front desk of hotel Balladins. It's located 20 minutes outside the city and requires a tram to get to, and was basic to say the least. I didn't even bother to take of picture of it haha. But we didn't care because we wouldn't be spending much time there anyway! Paris in two days is a feat! So. Stacey walked in to the lobby five minutes after I got there. After resting our tired and weathered bones, we set off for a look at that respectable pile of tin that every seems to make such a fuss over, none other than the Eiffel Tower. :)
Chatting while stepping off the metro at the Tour Eiffel stop, I completely cut Stacey off when I saw us approaching an alley to the left of us, saying, "I feel like we're going to look down that alley and see something that takes our breath away." Sure enough, peering around the corner, we were met with the heart-stopping sight of the Eiffel Tower glowing bright blue and towering powerfully over us. My reaction was completely unexpected. I truly did not expect to enjoy the sight nearly as much as I did. Our jaws dropped and we were literally frozen in place.
Okay I have to wrap this up but I'm not even done with night one yet so...more to come!! Thinking of you alL!
