We had 48 hours to see Paris, and I think we accomplished a good amount. As successful tube riders in London we got ourselves to Heathrow Airport with ease. Security felt like a breeze and all of a sudden we were waiting to board a plane to Paris<\/p>\n<p>After making it to the hotel, via taxi of course, we came across a small grocery store and made ourselves a rather late dinner. We slept in, but only until 10:30, and then took the day by storm. With amazing weather we walked all across Paris, hardly ever using a map. We started at Notre Dame, one of the most amazing buildings I&#8217;ve ever seen, and ended the day at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n<p>The love lock bridge was second on our list of stops. It&#8217;s an amazing site and I think that everyone should see it in person. The Louvre is another place that will never cease to disappoint. I could go back another five times and still not see everything, though I did see the Mona Lisa! I sipped my cappuchino while we casually strolled through the parks heading off towards more things to see. We all ate our way through the city, and I managed to try Nutella for the first time. With all the crepes I&#8217;ve consumed I think I might turn into one, but it was well worth it! I&#8217;ve also been telling myself that we walked them all off after being gone from noon time until about ten thirty Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Even though we relaxed a bit on Sunday and found a restaurant for breakfast I had such a great weekend. It went by so fast! As we boarded the plane back to London I realized that I flew from London to Paris in the time it takes me to drive from my house to Lowell. That forty-five minute plane ride brought me memories to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-271\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image7-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image7.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-272\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image8-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image8.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our time here in London has flown by and our plans for a weekend in Paris came up much sooner than I had expected.
