ok here’s the thing. at this point, we had seen everything we wanted to, we needed to do laundry, we needed to repack all our junk, and we needed sleep. so we took a day off. we slept in, watched some netflix, went and found a laundromat and did laundry, then went back home and packed. yes, i completely understand that we were in paris so we should have stayed busy every second of every day and seen as much as we could blah blah blah. you can do that on your trip. we didn’t want to work ourselves to death because we have a lot of those days ahead of us. so we gave ourselves a day, and it was awesome. a little before dinner, we ventured back into the city, walked around the palace of justice until we got kicked out, went and found dinner (it was tasty), then went to the eiffel tower.
side note: on the way, we found the replica of the replica:
aaaaand we’re back to the eiffel tower: we hadn’t seen it do its sparkly thing, and we needed to. while we were waiting, we went to get a crepe, and we asked the lady about what one of them had on it, and she told us it was 3 euros and 50 cents. so we asked her what was on the crepe again, and she held up 3 fingers. we asked her for a third time, and she wrote the price down on a paper and pointed at it. so we gave up and bought it. it wasn’t that good.
but you know what was good? that dang eiffel tower sparkly trick thing. i really liked it. the tower lights up as soon as it gets dark enough, then the sparkling happens when the sun touches its skin…wait, different story. it sparkles at the top of every hour after that.
trust me, the sparkling was cool. you can only see like 7 of the sparkles, but i have a video. it’s cooler.
then we went back, got a different crepe, this time with nutella (obviously tasty). tayte dropped a huge gob of it onto his shoe. don’t worry we’re getting rid of them when we get back. especially since he’s almost worn a hole right through the bottom. something about how we walk everywhere.
then it was time for bed.
