Day 6 (Evening)

Hello everyone!

Today was a busy day. We woke up around 6:45 AM to catch the Chunnel (channel tunnel) to Paris. The ride took about two hours, but was very smooth, so I slept. One of my school friends was in Paris with her family, so we met them at the Louvre. We walked around the Louvre for a couple hours (and of course, we saw the Mona Lisa), looking at all the different colors and shapes of the paintings before leaving and walking around Paris, mainly searching for a gelato/sorbet shop. Before finding gelato, we came across a bridge right outside the Louvre covered in locks. The tradition is that people will put a lock on the bridge fence and throw the key into the water. My friend and I put a sparkly purple lock on the bridge just for fun. The lock came with three keys, so we each took one and threw one in the river. We walked through Paris for about fifteen or twenty minutes afterward before finding a gelato shop. After eating, we walked to Notre Dame. The line was far too long, so we strolled around outside and took pictures of the flying buttresses. We were aimlessly walking around the city when we came across what is said to be Paris' best ice cream shop. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the name of the shop it, but it's in Ile Saint Louis (sorry if my spelling is incorrect). Not long after that, our friends walked with us to a cab and we all said good-bye. Then we jumped on our train and came back to London. We were famished, so we walked to a delicious Italian restaurant about a block away from the Cumberland. That about sums up our day.

See ya!
