My dad came to Paris yesterday. I met him after my final in the dorm and took him to the Eiffel Tower so he could see it during the day. After the Eiffel Tower we went to Notre Dame and then to the Frog and the British Library for dinner and drinks. Today we went to Sacre Couer, Louvre, Obelisk, Arc de Triomphe, Hotel de Ville, Bastille, the Marais, the Tuileries, Eiffel tower at night and the Champs-Elysees. Busy day? Just wait. We had a pain au chocolat for breakfast, falafel for lunch, macarons, Angelina's hot chocolate, beer, and shared an appetizer. I crammed in a few days worth of stuff into one day because I wanted my dad to see it all. And of course it was a treat for me as well. But, what I love about having my dad here is that he has always shared my extreme passion and love for history. I am glad he gets to come here and see this impeccable city.
Last night after my dad and I got back, I went out to this student bar with Lauren, Jessen, Grace, Ramona, Jen, Dan and Ray. It was the last night I got to hang out with Lauren and maybe the other people depending on how this paper goes. It was a fun night. We got our Guinness, which reminded us of Dublin and we all met some great guys. I met a guy named Alex and it was a lot of fun to talk to him. The bar we were at had a mix of live music and radiolike music, so dancing was also a ton of fun. It was a great chill night in Paris, and when it ended it was very impacting. I hate endings, but I especially hate this one.
Well, French final done. Paper is on its way. Monday I'll be done with school and Tuesday I'll be in Rome with my family.
