double trouble in Paris....

I got the pleasure of going to France 2 times in a month :) It was amazing. I have always wanted to go. It has been a dream of mine since I can remember. This is because my grandpa, one of the most important people in my life was born and raised there.

The first time I went there was with a few of my friends. We stayed in a hostel, right in the center of the city. This was honestly the worst experience I have ever had. 2 of my friends got all of there luggage stolen the first day we were there. It was horrible but they really made the best of it. I got to see everything in paris that I wanted to see. Things from historical monuments to museums :) I really had the best time. I felt right at home there. The food also was really great.

The second time I went was with my mom. It was a different experience because we stayed at a really nice hotel. It was a lot different than the first time. We stayed right behind the Champs Elysees. I also met up with a friend that lives in Paris. I have not seen him in over 6 years so it was really great to reconnect with him there! My mom and I were lucky enough to go to Lyon, the town my Grandpa was born in. It was honestly one of the best days of my life. I got to see his street that he grew up on and the address at which he lived. His town was beautiful and everyone there was extremely friendly. I hope to one day go back and stay there a lot longer than a day because just one day was not enough.

I leave in a few days for Ireland for the weekend. After Ireland, im off to Italy and after Italy I go to London :) Time is passing by so quickly and its getting more and more real that I have to leave in a month and go back to real life. I graduate College in less than 6 months and then real life really begins.

I'm trying to take in every moment and enjoy everyday as much as possible!! :) Off to to some homework just thought I should update this because I keep forgetting
