Paris plus some Lyon

So the cabaret was hilarious. No photos of it though (of course it was against the rules haha). Then we all went out afterwards to a 24 hour bar which they of course have in Paris. Danced and partied with all my tour mates until about four and then tried to grab a cab. What an impossible endeavor! Didn't get back to the campsite until 5:30!

That didn't stop me from making sure I was up the next morning to make it around Paris. The first stop was the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa among other things but that was definitely the first order of business. FYI if you were to see every site in there for five seconds it would take you five museum days to see them all. Fun fact! Then we headed for crepes (nom) and macaroons at a place called Maison du Chocolat aka pretty much a chocolate jewelry store.

Then we headed to the Notre Dame. Won't lie it was totally awesome and overwhelming and a few of us may have cried a tad. After super we headed back to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night which was aaaaamaaaaazinnggggggggg!!! Rode up the glass sided elevator which scared the crap out of me but the top was amazing to see the city all lit up! We were also on tower DURING the light show. Tooooo awesome.

The next day saw us driving to Lyon for some tasting of Bourgeounais wine which is pretty unique to the small region. Delicious and definitely bought some. It was also completely gorgeous to look out over the countryside from the chateau where we were wine tasting. Oh and the camp ground was totally sketchy there! On our way to Barcelona now as I speak.
