Paris!

This past weekend, I went to Paris with two of my friends. I had a great trip! Monday was a day off from school because it was a Spanish holiday, so it was the perfect time to enjoy a 4 day weekend in Paris. We visited all the famous sites (of course!) - The Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Moulin Rouge. My favorite was the Eiffel Tower at night time! It is lit up with millions of light and is gorgeous. Another great aspect of Paris is that the streets are filled with little stands and shops that make crepes. We ate a lot of nutella freshly-made crepes over the four days! They were delicious.

Before this weekend, I had no idea of how big Paris was! Of course I knew it was a huge city, but it is so much larger and more spread out than I had imagined. I liked Paris, but I was definitely ready to come back home to Madrid. Paris was so expensive, and the French people are not nearly as friendly and welcoming as the Spanish. I absolutely love Madrid. I feel much more comfortable in Madrid than I did in Paris. The Madrid streets and metro are cleaner, the people are friendlier, and I speak Spanish. Although Madrid is a large city, it is more manageable. I had a great weekend, and I was so lucky to spend it in Paris. However, by Monday, Madrid is where I wanted to be.
