Last day of Paris and back home again
The second day of Paris was great as well, though a lot less intense than the first day. haha. We went to breakfast in the morning and then we went off to the Louvre, where we spent a good portion of the day. It was really overwhelming, but I enjoyed it a lot. You're trying to look at the building and then the painting, and the scupltures and the history...it's a lot to take in. But it is a beautiful place. I decided I really like Paris. Something about it is just not as intense as our cities back home. Lack of skyscrapers or something. All the little cafes and everything, beautiful buildings, gardens, green spaces, walking paths. It's really nice. We had a little lunch at the Louvre as well, and then headed back to relax a little before I had to head off again to the train at 20:20. All in all, I just had a really good time. It was really nice to see familiar faces again and just travel around a little bit. Montpellier feels like home now so it does not feel like I am really travelling anymore. It was nice to get away for a little bit. But it was also nice to get home again. The bed with the mattress was quite nice. haha. You do what you gotta do! Yesterday I really did not do too much. Sat around, went to a pizza place for lunch, went to the pub to watch the chelsea vs. man u game (it was a tie) and then back home for dinner and sleep. It was nice to go and come back because I realized how familiar I am with this place now and how comfortable I actually am in this town. I know how things work for the most part and how to do most things that I need to do to survive. The town is beautiful. We were just sitting in this park here and looking out over an aqueduct and it was a beautiful day in the high 70's and I don't know...it was just nice. And Jake is coming the end of October for my birthday! He finalized his plans yesterday! Now I just gotta figure out when I am going to get to Prague...So much to do. I have been here 5 weeks already. Time is really flying unfortunately.

I'm glad you can appreciate the size of the Eiffel Tower. I told you, pictures don't do it justice. It's HUMONGOUS! The lines are even more ridiculous.
I'm glad you liked it. I liked London a little more, but Paris was a close second...which is saying alot when I had just come from Venice at the time.
I started to feel that way about Plymouth too, whenever I travelled. It was just nice to get back to what you were used to. Mom and dad would get nervous, but then calm down once they knew I was in Plymouth again. ...even though I was still in another country.
Hope you are well dear. Miss you tons. I'll write you another message on facebook later.
