Paris Encore! III

Today we woke up and went into Paris for food. Andrew, Jonathan, Marie, and I ate at a Gyro place while Linden and Rachel went to see the Eiffel Tower. I would have gone with them, but I’ve already seen it twice. After we ate, Andrew and I went to check out Saint Chappell while Jonathan and Marie went to the train station to head back early. Saint Chappell is one of the most beautiful churches in the world! It is even prettier than Notre Dame! We then left Saint Chappell in search for a restroom and luckily found one. We weren’t as luck as we thought! The men’s restroom didn’t have any toilet paper, so we snuck into the women’s restroom before anyone saw us! As soon as we got into our own stalls we noticed that the women’s restroom didn’t have any toilet paper either! We were about to leave, but a group of women came in at just the wrong time. We had to hide in our stalls until the left. Luckily they didn’t see or hear us! It was close! We then found a secret passage from the restroom to the plumbing room and decided to explore. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but we looked around anyway.

After our restroom escapade, we went to see La Tour de Saint Jacques and Hôtel de Ville. We took some photos and then decided to check out Place Pompidou. This is a modern art museum that has to be the most amazing museum I have ever seen in my life! Don't be surprised if some of the next photos are of the art exhibits here! Andrew and I spent three hours in there just wondering around. By the time I was done I just about fell asleep on the floor! When we finished at the museum, it was about time to leave to return to Caen. We found Rachel and Linen, ate dinner, and decided to sit outside of Pompidou to eat a baguette with Nutella™ before we needed to get on the Metro. We lost track of time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves before we realized it was time to leave! When we notice what time it was, we hurried to the Metro only to realize that our tickets weren’t working. We were panicked, but waited for a group of guys to come trough so that we could jump the turn stile. This is not legal, but we were desperate and there was no place near to purchase tickets. As we ran through the Metro I told everyone that no matter what, they aren’t to speak French. This is in case the Metro police find us and ask for our tickets. We were going to have to pull the stupid American card. When we finally made it to the train station, we got on the train with minutes to spare! We were very lucky!
