Last day in Paris, we spend the whole morning figuring out what to do with our study abroad baggage, and end up leaving it at the train station in lockers. Hopefully it will still be there when we return. =)
Lunch from a crepe stand - herbs, tomatoes, feta and ham. Delicious.
We journaled, slept, and read on a bench in the Luxembourg Gardens nearby for a couple of hours. Then we did some window shopping, and finally got some wine, cheese and bread.
We wanted to have an authentic Parisian experience on the bridge used in the Sex and the City finale.
So we joined groups of people leaned up against the railing, layed out a blanket, and set up our dinner.
It was a perfect way to say "au revoir" to the city of lights.
And then we hopped on our overnight train to Munich (or Munchen as it's known in Europe).
We slept in a room with 6 beds, three on each side. We were the only females, accompanied by two young German guys and a French man with his three kids. (Who, I must say, were very well behaved. I was impressed).
We spoke with each other in Spanish just for fun (Leslie's first language) - because everyone understands English pretty well. One of the beds was high up on the wall, about a foot under the top bed, and we were trying to figure out how to move it down. The German guys, wanting to help, actually asked us if we spoke English. Haha, suckers. =)
It was an interesting experience, our first overnight train, and the German ticket collector was really mean, but we enjoyed it. And we slept so well!
