Tuesday: Victory Day!- No School.

Man, I must say that these kids definitely have so many vacations! So since we didn't have school today, some of us went to the Eiffel Tower last night. We climbed over 700 steps to the second floor of the tower. Colleen and I were planning on going to the tippy top today, so thats why we just went to the second floor last night.

Today when we woke up we went to the Eiffel Tower and found out the top was closed...rude! So we might go to the tower on Thursday and go to the TOP! Well after that we went to the La Defense mall right by us to go shopping. The mall is four floors! We kind of just roamed around because we didn't know many of the stores and yes still don't speak french. We found a store that had Long Champs and they were cheaper than if we were to buy them at home! I ended up buying a gift for my sister and mom...and got my self some stuff obviously! The mall was so big that it pretty much took up the whole day!

We came back rested and then went to dinner. Colleen and I picked a random stop on the metro. I chose Argentine because I like the way the lady says it on the train. Then we got off and picked a random cafe. The cafe ended up being right in front of the Arc de Triomphe! I got the Croquet Madame. It is a popular sandwich here. The sandwich has grilled ham in it which cheese melted on the top and an egg on top of that. It was delicious!
