I thought I was going to be turned off by it being touristy etc, but I fell in love. Obviously, London is a pretty cool place to live but I love Paris. xAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647707557228625706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-51129171425566642562014-07-09T15:50:29.805-04:002014-07-09T15:50:29.805-04:00Thanks girl! :D I completely agree, and I'm gl...Thanks girl! :D I completely agree, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like Paris left a little something to be desired.

But then if you wandered too far off the boulevards, the streets were tiny and cramped and SO confusing to navigate! It's very strange. Versailles was cool to see, but so overwhelmingly gaudy that it was almost a bit excessive, lol. Idk. Definitely worth the trip, but I don't really have a desire to go back.darcisayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289513215271079392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-51074735540819010912014-07-09T15:45:55.577-04:002014-07-09T15:45:55.577-04:00Thanks, I'm so glad I got them too! :) Hey, at...Thanks, I'm so glad I got them too! :) Hey, at least sucky stories make for some great stories in retrospect!darcisayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289513215271079392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-20131341832302121062014-07-09T15:45:18.536-04:002014-07-09T15:45:18.536-04:00LOL, they really did!

However I also find it a bit pretentious and a lot dirty! I would NEVER live in Paris, gosh no! It sounds like you had such a terrible experiences - glad you enjoyed some art, the eiffel tower and versailles (sadly I never made it out there, next time!). I'm also a big fan of the food :)Camilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272847682494279472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-20414775808614435942014-07-08T13:59:24.084-04:002014-07-08T13:59:24.084-04:00So glad you were able to get those sketches.....an...So glad you were able to get those sketches.....and so sorry there was so much suck from that stop..but glad you do have some great memories...Gracey is not my name....https://www.blogger.com/profile/08972825777648546397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-91175803491263691102014-07-08T13:23:25.648-04:002014-07-08T13:23:25.648-04:00Man, those jumping pictures really did get exponen...Man, those jumping pictures really did get exponentially better as the trip went on.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620796736660057694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592098168234113173.post-15723237237936292682014-07-08T13:18:04.412-04:002014-07-08T13:18:04.412-04:00Great you got the sketches in the end.
