Today was our last morning in Paris, I woke up at 6am to pack the last of my things and eat a quick breakfast before our bus departure at 7am. As we made our way to the airport, I spent the drive gazing out the window, taking in the last glimpses of the city. It was a bitter sweet feeling- I had spent this week falling in love with Paris’s beauty and part of me did not want to leave. At the same time I was very excited about returning home, knowing my friends and family were waiting for me.

Once we arrived at the airport around 8am we all said our goodbyes then went on navigating through baggage check, customs, and finding our gate- Charles de Gaulle Airport is significantly larger than Boston Logan Airport so trying to find our way around was a bit confusing. Once we located our gate we wandered around to look at all the souvenirs and grab some snacks for the long plane ride.

7 hours later we finally landed back in Boston! It was hard to say goodbye to the beautiful city of Paris. I’m so thankful for the memories I created with my roommates and new friends during this trip, I am so lucky to have experienced such an amazing adventure.
