Today was our last day in Paris and Europe. It was very bitter sweet. There was still so much to see in Paris and very little time. But I made the most of my time left in Paris.
Today we visited the Louvre. I feel as if my whole life was leading up to this moment! I still remember the project I did in 6th grade on the Louvre. I picked that topic because I wanted to go there so badly. I have dreamed of this day for years. I finally got to see the famous glass pyramids. It was a dream come true. The Louvre was fantastic, the crowds were not. I did get a bit claustrophobic in the museum. There were a lot of people. I wish I could spend days roaming the halls of this museum. There is just so much information to take in! I loved walking the halls. I saw the Venus de Milo in person. Took my breath away! No Joke. I think it is even more spectacular in person! I just can't believe all the things I've gotten to do while on this trip! It has been amazing! I saw the Mona Lisa, it is tiny! Now that was a surprise. It is still an amazing piece of artwork. Now the Louvre chose to have the Nike of Samothrace in restoration while we were there. That was not a decision I was happy about. I wanted to see that sculpture so bad, I have been waiting the whole trip to see it. And it is not available! That did not help my Claustrophobia one bit, it actually increased it. I was so sad I couldn't see it in person. but life moves on.
After the Louvre we went shopping. That is also what this city is known for so we needed to do that as well! :) It was fun to try and find cool stores. The Galeries Lafayette was super neat.

Finally we ended the night with the Eiffel Tower light show. There was no better way to end the night! I have fallen madly in love with this city. I do not want this night to end so I don't have to leave tomorrow. It will be hard to get on that plane. I have learned so much on this trip, and there is still so much more I want to see and learn. I'll just have to come back. I really hope I get to come back.
