This weekend I went to Paris with Kate, Erin and Sammie. I absolutely loved it! What makes it even better is that I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did; I probably wouldn't have even gone to Paris if the three of them weren't going.
We booked our Eurostar train tickets way back in October and at the time it seemed like Paris would never come. I can't believe how fast the semester is gone; I'll be going home two weeks from today. I miss home and everyone there, but I really do love living here and exploring London. I'll be happy to be home but I'm not necessarily looking forward to it.
On Thursday after classes we took a cab to St. Pancras station to catch our Eurostar train. Our train was supposed to leave around 7:15 and then it got delayed because of the snow. The train was comfortable and I think we all slept for a while until we got to Ashford station where we were supposed to have a short stop and ended up being stuck there for three hours. Our train ride was only supposed to take three hours total! Once we finally started moving again, we were going at a snail's pace and it took us forever to get through the Chunnel. We stopped in north France for a while and continued onto Paris. We arrived at Paris Nord around 3:30am, so much later than we were supposed to. We took a cab to our hotel that Erin's mom was nice enough to help us get. As we walked into our hotel we looked down the street and saw the Eiffel Tower! It was fantastic.
I just wrote about the whole trip, and then my computer froze so this is all that I have now. I have to work on a paper so I'll have to finish Paris tomorrow!
