I lost myself along Champs Elysee and the Luxembourg gardens, the Pantheon and the Rodin museum.
I stumbled across the Latin Quarter discovering gem after incredible gem of beauty and history. I spent it unexpectedly alone since my phone credit expired just as I was heading into the city center, and though that was just one more item to add to my long list of unfortunate circumstances, I couldn't have been more grateful to be alive.
And finally, I managed to find some internet and see my friends in Paris one last time. After touring the city at dusk, we made it to the Montparnasse tower just in time to get an unbelievable view of the City of Lights, complete with the Eiffel tower and all.
Even though it's been just over a week since I returned from Paris, it seems unreal that I actually saw and did those things I just wrote about. It's even more weird considering one of my friends in Paris has already returned to the states and begun his summer job!
And even though our adventures abroad are shortly coming to an end, I know our bittersweet goodbye is a small price to pay for all the wonderful opportunities we have been given over the past few months.
