Paris- 2nd half

Our last 2 days were just as exciting and full as the first 2! We went to a farmers market that was so cool! It was like all local people there. It's definitely not a tourist trap which was awesome. I bought a purse here and we bought some lunch here- fruit and baguettes! YUMMY! After the market we visited Versailles. The Château de Versailles is pretty incredible! The grounds were so beautiful too.

All sorts of bread at the market...


Our fun purses :)

The grounds

More grounds. It was really windy!!

Our last day in Paris we went to the Louvre, went to a delicious bakery called Laduree, walked a lot all day, and got on our sleeper train to Rome. The sleeper train was MISERABLE!!! I will NEVER do that again!! It was hot and stinky and I started to get clostrophobic in the small space. We shared a 6 man cabin with a nice French couple and a Nigerian woman who, no offence, smelled and took up so much room.

The Louvre


Me and Mona, no biggie


So I thought this only happened in movies, but we went to the laundromat and someone put too much soap in the washer and it kept getting closer, and closer, and closer... haha


It was almost too pretty to eat!


This is a picture of our cabin...there are 2 beds on top that you can't see in the picture


This basically sums up what I felt like for 14 hours of misery!

2) You poor things on that sleeper! I'm so sorry! How were the Alps though? Could you see anything?
