A girl named Maddi went to a beautiful place called Paris. It was all she could ask for really. Who wouldn't want to travel across the world without any parents? That is an adventure in itself.
Last Christmas break I had the opportunity to go to Paris for a few days with my brothers Berk and Tanner. It was amazing! Honestly the city is so charming, especially during the Christmas season! It snowed every single day! I'm not sure if I should think of it as good luck or bad luck, seeing as it is very, very rare for it to snow in Paris, and the snow equaled to me being extremely cold! But as I'm sitting here in warmth looking at my beautiful snowy Paris pictures, I'll think of it as good luck:) This was such a wonderful experience for me, but there were a few things I learned on this vacation. I figure I better share them, incase anyone who might be reading this is taking a Paris trip anytime soon.
1- Check the Weather before you go! Believe me, it can be extremely cold and if all you have is a sweater your going to be spending your money on warm clothing opposed to food. Also, it would probably be a good idea to not pack ten minutes before you have to leave to catch your flight. That way you can carefully make sure you have everything.
2- If your staying in a hostile, try to keep the sleep talking down to a minimum so you don't frighten you room mates.
3- McDonalds is AWESOME!
4- The crape stand across the street from the eiffel tower is the best but don't go past ten because it will be closed!
5- NEVER ever believe anyone when they tell you that the eiffel tower closes at midnight. Believe me, we learned our lesson the hard way after showing up two nights in a row only for it to be vacant. Also, if its freezing cold outside they will close the top of the eiffel tower
6- Watch out for the guys selling mini eiffel towers, you may be excited at first but they will always be there.
7- Paris is the city of strikes so watch out for the metro being on strike. Sometimes, when your freezing cold its almost worth it to take a cab.
8- Pick pocketers! They'll get ya! They tried on me and my brothers but lucky for us we have the frei jeans so they couldn't out smart us ;)
9- Never take your stylish brother shopping! Because you just might end up sitting on a chair holding 20 jackets for him to try on. Actually on second thought, take your brother shopping. Its fun:)
10-When you see the bathroom that works like an elevator don't be alarmed! Also get out of it before it starts to clean itself with water!
11- One more thing, make sure you go with the coolest guys ever (berk and tanner) and you'll be sure to have the best adventure you could ask for!
