With so many sites to see and so little time (we stayed in Paris from 12-4-14 to 12-5-14), I'd still say we made the most of the days we spent roaming around Paris.
Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to travel with "The Fantastic Four" (Christine, Jen, Risa and I) to two countries on my bucket list. First stop...France! With so many sites to see and so little time (we stayed in Paris from 12-4-14 to 12-5-14), I'd still say we made the most of the days we spent roaming around Paris. Before the actual sightseeing of famous tourist destinations began we wandered the streets of Paris... We then visited: Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris Shakespeare and Company - where I wanted to buy more books than I would ever be able to fit in my suitcase. The Love Lock Bridge - so happy they didn't cut it down (at least for now!) ...and took a lunch break where I finally got to try ESCARGOT! Snails are delicious! Well, the ones we tried anyway. I also ate some delicious salmon. Of course no trip to Paris would be complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower up close; it was stunning! Especially, when it glittered at night. The Louvre and Mona Lisa were a must and like the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam I would like to come back and spend a whole day exploring the different exhibits. Two or three hours just isn't enough time to see and appreciate everything. Last but certainly not least, I got to visit the Moulin Rouge in person! "Moulin Rouge" is one of my favorite movies and to visit the real site in Paris was fantastic. There's still so much I would like to see and do in Paris such as see the Eiffel Tower during the day, the Moulin Rouge at night and meet my mom's best friend from college (who we tried to meet up with while there but our schedules didn't match up) so this was definitely only a see you later Paris. I hope someday I can make it back to France!
