Sooo tired...



Here we are leaving Tallahassee (Thanks to Lizzy for dropping us off!)


We're here! After a long day of traveling, we got into Paris around 5:30 am.

We came to Daniel's house, ate fresh french bread, cheese, and chocolatines for breakfast and then passed out for a few hours.

After a wonderful nap we headed out to the mall and looked at beautiful, very high priced clothes. Then we came back by the house, picked up Stefanie and drove into Paris!
It was very cold and raining so we decided to drive around instead of walking. We stoped by the platform outside the Trocadero, admired the blue Eiffle Tower, and ate nutella crepes. As you can see in the pictures below, it got kind of messy. The nutella was very warm, and runny, and dripped on my camera case, pants, jacket, and all over my hands. But it tasted so good, it was worth it!



Here are some pictures of the Eiffel Tower. It is blue with gold stars right now because Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, is also the president of the European Union. It changes every 6 months, and the French are very proud.






We also drove around the Arc De Triumph



And then down Chapms Elysees





After all of this we were very hungry and decided to stop at a McDonnalds on Champs Elysees. I tried to find the most French thing on the menu so I got a "Le Croque McDo" the McDonnalds version of one of my favorite french breakfast foods Croque Monsieur, which is basicly a very nice ham and melted cheese sandwish. Croque McDo, hahaha!


And now are need to get some sleep. We're getting up around 6am, to get on our 8:30am flight to Barcelona. We will be there for the next three days, and we may or may not have access to a computer. Then onto Amsterdam Wednesday, and by then we will definitely be able to update again, and add more pictures. Hope everyone is well! -Jasmine and Daniel
