What’s better than 1 Valentine? 8 Valentines (monogamy is lame anyway…) This year, I got to spend my Valentines weekend with some of my best friends in the beautiful city of Paris. My friend, Evan, who is studying abroad in Paris this semester, walked us around to all of the must-see spots of the city. We started our first day by eating falafel in the Jewish corner, then spent the rest of the day walking to different landmarks such as the Notre Dame and the Louvre. Along our walk, we were surrounded by large, beautiful buildings plated in gold – a very different style from any of the Gaudi buildings we have here in Barcelona. For a quick break, we stopped at the famous Angelina Teamroom for some delicious chocolate. The hot chocolate really lived up to its standard: a pure, thick hot chocolate that tasted as if bars of chocolate melted straight into my cup. The next day, we continued our tour and spent most of our day by the Lock Bridge as well as the Eiffel Tower. No boyfriend to share a lock with on the bridge? Not a problem – I had my friend Rory for that. With a great travel crew to share the experience with, Paris became one of favorite weekend trips so far.Could I imagine studying abroad there? Probably not (they don’t have Opium in Paris…), but I would definitely love to come back and revisit some of these amazing sites. But for now, bonjour, Paris.
