Since this is my last week in Paris, I have been using my time wisely to experience more of the Parisian culture. For example, I went to the Notre Dame Cathedral and walked all the way up to the top, overlooking the whole city of Paris during the day. It was unbelievable. I could see the Eiffel Tower in such a clear view. Also, I visited the ‘Love Lock Bridge’ where one buys a lock and writes something personal on their lock, locking it onto the bridge. I locked my lock on the bridge!
This week I also took a train ride to Belgium, Antwerp along with the Fashion group. It was such a fun experience. I purchased so many yummy chocolates,waffles, and french fries. They are well known to have the best chocolate, waffles, and french fries! I guess its easy to say that I was “pigging out” in Belgium.
I’m sad to say that the program is coming to an end. I have had such an unforgettable experience. If I have another opportunity to come to Paris, I would take that opportunity in a heart beat. Now that my dream has come true, I can’t wait to share to all my experiences through pictures and long fun filled conversations. Until we meet again Paris, AU REVOIR!
