TAKES SEVILLA
Paris, France || Oh what an adventure Paris has been already... Turns out I only know about 6 words in French and none of them could help me find the room we were staying in. This of course was after I nearly thought we would miss our flight, Jessie's sandwich squired sauces all over the floor of the metro station in Malaga, and we somehow stumbled on the apartment building after wandering the streets for a good twenty minutes. However, I, being the novice Airbnb user that I am, forgot to ask for the room number of the apartment and/or for directions of how to be buzzed in. Praise the good Lord a stranger was nice enough to let us use their phone, otherwise we would've had to set up a makeshift camp down in the lobby. But instead, I'm here, with mandatory house slippers on my feet, about to pass out from exhaustion.

Paris, France || I'm not sure you understand how much effort it took to get to this stupid metro. It took us a whole hour and a half to walk to the stop and figure out which ticket we needed to buy. If to you in sounds like a small amount of things being done in a large amount of time, you're correct. Being a tourist has never been so difficult.

The Lock Bridge, Paris, France || If you read my last post, I'm sure you're worried Jessie and I got lost somewhere deep in the Paris metro system. But not to worry - we arrived at our first tourist destination safe and sound, ready to take some selfies with some locks.
Laduree Macaroons, Paris, France || high prices and long lines, but well worth it. After 19 long years of never having tried these colorful masterpieces I often compared to "Pretty Patties", the streak has been broken. In France. Cool.

Arc de Triumph, Paris, France || May or may not have literally stumbled upon this gem as we were looking for the Eiffel Tower. Who needs a distinct plan? Not us.

Crepe Stand, Eiffel Tower, Paris, France || Two people have requested for me to eat a crepe for them in France, so here goes round one. Ana Bello - this one's for you.

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France || During the course of this photo being taken, our well hidden crepes almost fell off the wall and into the river. I realize this fun fact has very little importance in the grand scheme of things, but it was actually a pretty big deal in the moment and I felt like you should know. Also, that's the Eiffel Tower.

Chez Gladines Restaurant, Paris, France || What's shown in this picture is a super crowded authentic French restaurant that Jessie and I ate at tonight. What's not shown is me trying to take the photo while being squished in the entryway between 30 different people all trying to put their name in for a reservation. In case you were wondering, it was at least an hour of waiting for a table but the food was ABSOLUTELY UNREAL.

Chez Gladines Restaurant, Paris, France || From this day forward, if anyone ever asks me if I've ever tried snails, I'm obligated to say yes. And that I liked it. Oops.

Hillsong Paris || A familiar style of church in an unfamiliar language. Bucket list item "visit every Hillsong Church" is 3/12th completed!
