New Year’s Day!!! Since it was a holiday, and many businesses were closed we had a tour of the city. It was a beautiful day, in the mid to upper 40’s and sunny. Because we had more time in the morning I decided to make an omelet for breakfast. Well it took a little longer than I thought to make the omelet so I had to hurry to school and catch the bus. Our tour started at 10:30a.m. and lasted until about 5:00p.m. We drove past many historical monuments and stopped at a select few. Some of them included the Luxembourg Gardens, St. Germain Church, Sorbonne University, The Bon Marche Department Store, The Grand Palace, Champs Elysees, Place des Victoires, and the Eiffel Tower. When we were at the Eiffel Tower we were given 5 minutes to get as close as we could and take pictures. Kate and I got as close as we could before heading back to the bus. As we got closer to the bus it started to drive away and we almost missed the bus but we started running and were able to catch it. We found out on the bus that they almost left but one of the girls told the driver to stop so that we could get on. We also saw many of the Haute Couture Boutiques such as Givenchy, Valentino, Christian Dior, Balmain, Fendi, Nina Ricci, Versace, Lanvin, Gucci, Prada, John-Paul Gaultier, Hermes, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. After the tour we headed back to the apartment to catch up on some much needed rest.
