Final Days

So We entered France and that it was a pretty smooth ride on the train.. glancing out the window as the sun was going down taking the final glimpses of Germany in.  We arrived in Paris around 11 or so, where we met up with Tom and then headed back to his apartment and then we had some lovely dinner and then went to bed. 
June 3rd - First day of being in Paris - 
This day we basically walked around and took everything in.  We met up with emily and her and tom showed us around :)  It was fun... we also had some macroons again :0  yummmm..
Then pizza for lunch - it was quite a tasty place.  Then we went to the museum de Orsay and walked around there for a while :) then for dinner we went to a corner restaurant by his house.. and the chicken was awesome and we tried this beer, beer with cherry grenadine.  Then we went back to his house and called it a night... because we had to prepare for the next day.
June 4th - Second day in Paris and off to NORMANDY!
So we got up really early and we made it to where the tour was going to start and then piled on to the bus and we were off!!! We got to see a bunch of historic sites, walk along the beaches, and try to imagine what it was like during the war.  The beaches were incredible and so were the divots left behind from the war.. we Were able to see some of the bunkers still in tact and we walked through an incredible museum walking step by step starting at the space race all the way up to D-Day and then VE & VJ day.  It is something I will never forget.
Then we did some souvenir shopping and then road the bus back.  We met up with tom and then it was dinner time and we had some more chicken and other meat @ a well renounced restaurant.  and then we called it a night. 
June 5th - 3rd day in Paris
By the third day we were off and ready to see more of Paris, we hit up the louvre, Notre dame, Arce de triumph.  Had subway for lunch and past for dinner and of course Ice cream for dessert!  :) It was good day, again.. Great company - AWESOME CITY!
June 6th - 4th day & last day in Paris
While tom was off doing his daily job,  Alex and I waited in Line and made our way up the Eiffel tour!  It was a perfect day - all the way to the top we went :)  Then we walked around the city and said our goodbyes to the city and ate some ice cream- Then we headed back to tom's place made some burgers packed and watched the dark knight :)
June 7th - DEPARTURE
Sooo -- woke up early took about 5 trains to get to the airport, we had something to eat  and sadly parted ways.. :(  It was a great trip and It was awesome to hang out with Tom and Emily and see Paris one more time before returning to the states. 
Thanks for everyone for making my trip amazing!! :)
