Okay, yea it's a weird title considering we're two friends traveling together, but it's also hard to ignore reality when between yesterday and today we saw four different wedding shoots going on at different locations throughout Paris. Brides and grooms smiling with the beautiful scenes in the background. Plus, we visited the bridge with all the locks today, Pont des Arts. It was covered, but along the edges the locks were sparse, so I made sure to get a picture of that in case I ever return, so I can compare! Before that we also visited the Lourve, thought apparently it is closed on Tuesdays - weird. Either way, we got quite a few pictures outside before leaving and had been told by another girl traveling at one of our hostels that she hadn't enjoyed it as much as she expected to anyway. After walking across the bridge, we made our way to the senate building and Luxemburg Gardens, but not before stopping to try a macaroon each. Once at the gardens, we lounged in chairs and read our books for about an hour and a half while giving our feet a rest. We then slowly made our way back, stopping in souvenir shops and passing by Notre Dame Cathedral. Once on the other side of the river, we found a place to est dinner and collected our luggage from our hotel. We then hopped on the subway - amid more confusion because of the French - and rode it to the main station. Before catching our train to London, we sat and read in a small restaurant by the train station. Finally, we made our way to the Eurostar train, where we went through a security check and two sets of Customs Officers to make sure we were cleared to leave France and enter the UK. After a little over two hours on the train, we are at our hostels, exhausted, and ready for bed. Tomorrow we'll try to catch the Changing of the Guards and get a picture at Platform 9 3/4!
