Day 3: I woke up and I was EXTREMELY Jet lagged, Paris has a 6 hour time difference from my state of Arkansas, so I was tired, and didn’t want to get up, but…. it’s Paris. How could you sleep in Paris? I had a really good breakfast, there was French Toast which is so good! I definetly recommend to try the French Toast because it’s made with the French bread Broiche and it’s really soft and good. I also ordered a salmon dish with dill cream and salty pancakes which was really good and fresh. All together a great breakfast.

Today was a special day, today we were actually going inside the Eiffel Tower, which is always exciting. My sister kept freaking out cause she was scared of heights, but I really had the urge to jump off. Before you say “Hey are you ok?” I have to say I am perfectly fine, I just had this weird urge, I feel like it would be relaxing to jump off with the wind going through my hair and everything. Anyway, we were walking to the Eiffel Tower and dread creeped into me when I saw the traffic. It rained on us again as well…YAY. So we went to this little corner shop, it wasn’t really a building because everything was open. We got extra umbrella because I’m NOT willing to catch a cold. I was huddling in the corner of the store because like I said there were no walls, it wasn’t really a building, but it really looked like I was doing drugs the way I was huddled in the corner. With my raincoat over my head and my hands in front of my face, I probs looked suspicious. We were heading towards the entrance to the Eiffel Tower when someone stopped us and asked for my dad to sign a piece of paper, and I was confused. She said it was for deaf baby operation and we couldn’t really communicate with her because she only spoke French. So my dad signed it hesitantly and when we we were going to walk away, she stopped my dad and asked for us to pay, and since my dad didn’t understand that much he said I want to take back my signature, I’m not paying. It was its own ordeal, we threatened to call the cops because she started pushing my dad. My sister looked like she was going to cry. I was just really confused. We did pay. We also apologized. So tip, if someone talks to you say sorry or de sole and walk away. Or you know, don’t speak AT ALL. LEAVE IT ALONE. Later we kept walking and we found a souvenir shop under the Eiffel Tower, and since I was FREEZING I bolted towards the shop and it felt so nice because of the huge heater and everything, but so many people were crowded in such a small area I felt like my privacy bubble was cracking. It’s like that feeling of going to the pool during a really hot day and trying to dodge little kids peeing.

Going on the elevator of the Eiffel Tower was honestly kind of scary, it was shaking a lot. I was honestly shocked when we got off though, the second floor of the Eiffel Tower looks like a freaking mall, there were stores, bathrooms, resturants too, and the view was amazing. There was a macroon shop and a pizzeria. There was more though, there was a whole other elevator to the tippy top, and that’s the one I got on. I was singing Up! by Kep1er the whole time, we were going so high. On our way to the elevator my mom pointed to a screen and said oh por favor is please in French too? Which took me by surprise cause I thought it was something totally different, so I looked and then I was really confused because the language on the board was just normal Spanish. I told her por favor is just Spanish. Some random lady even said that too.

The top was really high. I was taking this picture when water splashed me from nowhere and I was SO CONFUSED. It wasn’t even raining at the moment. However, you could see EVERYTHING from the top, from the Arc de Triumph, Notre Dam, and even the Lourve. I was excited and happy. It was so cool, and I was also excited to get down, because I felt like the Eiffel Tower was swaying and I was like heck nah. I guess I was a little to happy because I decided to run down the stairs, bad idea, I literally slipped because it was still wet from the rain and I luckily caught the railing. This always happens to me, I die and then I actually DoN’t DiE aNd iT’s aNnOyInG. I had another almost die moment when we were in the elevator and it started moving WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE, and so I wasn’t holding onto anything and I stumbled, my sister did too, and when we reached the bottom it made us stumble again, except my sister actually fell on someone and I hit the window.

We went back to the hotel after that, and we went down to the hotel resturant to order some coffee and just settle down. My dad ordered his normal decaf and my mom a cappuccino, I wasn’t that hungry at the moment so I skipped, and my sister wasn’t feeling like drinking at the moment. My dad however did let us take a sip of his decaf and I didn’t really like it. It was so bitter and gross. My sister tried and her face looked like she wanted to throw up and then she smiled like she had something sour and said it was so good.

The same day we decided to go on a boat ride, and it was a really nice boat ride, I really wanted to reanact the Titanic scene with my sister but she fell asleep. The crepes on the boat are also really really good, I seriously love the crepes here, they’re buttery and thin, and just, mwah perfect.

After the nice and relaxing boat ride we went to a very famous macaroon shop in France which was Laduree, and dude, the macaroons are so good. Especially the strawberry candy one and Marie Antoinette Tea, those two are my favorite. Starting top left and going down we have Raspberry, Rose, Marie Antoinette Tea, and orange blossom. Top right and going down we have strawberry candy, passion fruit, black current, and vanilla.

We also had dinner at the resturant right next to Laduree called Le Deauvill, I ordered the Pizza and my sister ordered a pasta and we shared. I recommend to sit inside if you have trouble with smoke like I did, we sat in the outside resturant part which is literally a tent but everyone was smoking in there and I was having a hard time.

After eating we explored and I’m not joking, the stores here look so freaking cool. Like the inside of Nike literally had a photo area and a yoga session going on. Louis Vitton had a LITERAL lady on their building painting dots.

I was seriously distracted by the shops windows that I almost got hit by a car, my dad literally pulled me back. I wanted to reanact myself in a Kdrama by saying oppa did you just save me and then strike a Debbie Ryan ear tuck pose. But it was my dad and I’m not doing that. Despite almost getting run over, I had a fun day. Day 4 was a little more peaceful because we went to Lourve, and that day was my absolute favorite because I not only saw art but I met a Bunnies! (New Jean fan) and we might have become friends. So stay tuned for that!
