it simply wasn't what i expected.
which is the problem.
i had the highest expectations for paris out of all the cities in my whole trip.
i had no expectations for london.
i figured cambridge would be cool but didn't know what to expect.
i actually didn't even want to go to Bath at first.
but paris...i thought it would be my favorite.
i set the bar too high.
i didn't realize it would be so hot. and humid. terribly humid. we spent a lot of time underground on the metro. which was definitely not glamorous. i feel like i didn't get to see the classic, fancy, romantic version of paris.
don't get me wrong, we managed to do A LOT in the 3 days we were there.
we have some amazing memories:
-like that tiny little restaurant around the corner from our hotel. it was empty and the waitress hardly spoke any english. but we had some delicious pizza and the best creme brulee of my life.
-or our constant quest for crepes. and eating lots of them. and eating one on the lawn under the eiffel tower.
-the wondrous gardens at versailles. that went on and on forever.
-being in the presence of such amazing works of art at the louvre.
-walking the champs de elysees
-climbing those 700 steps up the eiffel tower at sunset. and then watching the light show later when we were back on the ground.
i hope my next trip is something more like this:
