c'est la vie

so this morning, we had to say goodbye to Paris. aww sad right?

however...

we are off to travel Europe for the next two weeks! 

But before I update on where we are off to...

A couple of Paris highlights are in order.

They say the best view of a city is from on high... don't worry. We saw the city from multiple views.

Notre Dame:

























Arc du Triomphe:










































and of course... the Eiffel Tower!












































Monday night we totally took a bike tour in the POURING rain that ended in a boat tour. I've never been so cold yet never have had so much fun. Literally rain just pelting our faces. However, the highlight was definitely the guy from the smang it video and his "baby" who honestly couldn't ride bikes (she ran into a pole) in our group.




























(Yes I've eaten upwards of 10 crepes this trip, but these pictures aren't doing me any justice either FYI)

Tuesday we visited the catacombs and got in touch with our spooky side. They were created because the people in the area were complaining about a cemetery that was getting unsanitary because it was too full. So they dug up the bones of all these people and used old quarries to create catacombs... seems totally not legal or ethically okay to do if you ask me... but then again, who asked me right? 













































and finally... I promise I'm going to shut up now! But just a little update on where we are off to.

so I'm currently in Chartres, but we are only here for one night. Tomorrow we head up to Mont St. Michel, then Normandy, then a couple cities in the Netherlands, and a couple cities in Belgium.

9 hotels in 15 nights! 

I'm seriously lucky.
