We leave London today and take the train to Paris, France. It was a nice train ride but crazy to think about going in the tunnel under the English Channel/ocean. It’s a race once we got off the train! We had a scheduled time to go up in the Eiffel Tower which we luckily made. We originally were supposed to go to the very top of the Eiffel Tower but they closed that section for maintenance so we just got to go up to the midsection. We loved the views and spent quite a bit of time up there. After that, we had to race to our Macaron cooking class. This was such a fun thing we got to do! The teacher was so nice and the macaron’s turned out fantastic! After the class, we got settled at the apartment, got some dinner at a local restaurant, and grabbed some wine before heading to the Eiffel Tower to enjoy the nighttime show. Overall, a great and jam packed full first day in Paris!
happy Wednesday about to book it out of
this flat making sure we didn’t forget
anything and about to call a taxi as
