Paris Adventures Part 2

Saturday: Day 2

Well, it was another busy, fun and long day exploring Paris. My day began with taking the metro to the Opera house and Gallery Lafayette. The opera house was beautiful. Gallery Lafayette was cool too, It reminded me a little bit of Harrods. It was basically a giant, expensive department store with a bunch of smaller boutique shops inside. It had all the famous fashion designers, such as Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, etc. After that, I wanted to go back and further explore the Latin Quarter and look for some Paris souvenirs. Then, we decided to walk from The Latin Quarter all the way to the Eiffel Tower for a night river cruise on the Seine. Needless to say, this probably wasn't our smartest idea. It's easy to get there since you just follow the Seine. But on the other hand, it is very FAR. It was an hour and half walk at a normal pace. The weather was gorgeous, and unusually warm. It was great to take in the river. But, I would recommend taking the Metro since it's really far. The one hour guided river cruise on the Seine was worth every penny. It cost 10 euros, by the way. That was fairly cheap considering that Paris is the most expensive city in Europe. We took the tour at dusk so that we could see "The City of Lights." What can I say, it was AWESOME!
