So after our cheerleading pose at the Eiffel Tower, we headed to the Arc de Triomphe and Emily guess what? We did cross the street in front of it! There is a tunnel for people to walk underneath to get to it, but we saw and opening in the traffic and went for it! Now I can say that I have crossed a five-lane roundabout. haha! Don´t worry, we took the tunnel to cross back over ;). After that we wrapped up our Saturday with a nice dinner out.
Sunday we decided to go to Monmatre and see Sacre Coeur and the Moulin Rouge. The view was amazing from the Sacre Coeur, and the inside was just as beautiful. I think it was one of my favorite churches that we visited. Then we walked over to the Moulin Rouge...I had to get my picture there...since it´s one of my favorite movies ;).
For the afternoon we had planned to go on a boatride down the Seine. I am so glad we did it. It was a beautiful day and it was a different view of Paris from the Seine.
Finally, for our last night, we decided to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night. Everyone was pretty tired by then, and it seemed like I was the only one excited about doing it! I couldn´t believe I had to convince people to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower! I mean c´mon, we´re in Paris!!! But we all went up, and it was gorgeous. We even got to see it light up, which was amazing. Being up there on top of the world was the best way for us to end our trip to Paris!

Dear Rain in Spain---Aileen, I am getting chills reading your postings. Cannot wait to hear all about it in person! It is obvious you have a real aqppreciation for other cultures. You might be interested in serving in the Peace Corps after college. In a Spanish-speaking country you would be ready to go. How about two years in Argentina or Peru? All expenses paid by your Uncle Sam, and you get a paycheck, too! See you very soon. Con Amor, UB
