The wheel

This was our first full day in Paris, and although I didn't think I would like it as much as London, it grew on me as the day went on.

The first thing we did after getting up late, is go to 'The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier', or Arc de Triomphe. We climbed to the top of it, and the view was spectacular! I took tons of photos from up there! After we descended the multiple steep flights of stairs, and we began walking around, it was about 1:30, and we were all getting a little hungry. We traveled down the road towards this Ferris wheel. Once we reached the end of the street, we turned off on a side road, less populated, and began looking for some food. After about an hour of searching, we found multiple options, but they were all quite expensive. By now, I was starving, and I could eat just about anything. Finally, we turned down a street, and we found a 'Subway' and we decided that we would eat there. After lunch, we continued on our adventure. We strolled through a bunch of gardens, and walked past 'The Louvre' (we will go in it another day). Now this comes to the... long part of our day. After we had walked around for some time, me and everyone else had to, well... use the toilets. We searched everywhere for a water closet(bathroom), down streets, alleys, and bridges! After we had walked for at least 45 minutes, we fiiinaly found a bathroom; our agony had ended and was replaced by ice cream! After that, we visited Notre Dame and we concluded our day by sitting by the river in a small park and drew/journaled.

So.... ya, that was the first day in Paris! I hope to write more of these story things in the future!
