Today was not only the last day in Paris but also the last day with mom and poops, booo!
We started the day pretty early with another breakfast buffet at the hotel and then stashed our stuff so we could head to the Louvre for the morning. We also were luckily able to buy our tickets to the museum at the concierge desk so we didn't have to wait in line at the museum. We got there and got in pretty speedily and basically did a quick tour of the highlights of the museum - Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, etc etc. We also saw a couple things that were new to me, mostly the basement part where there is the statue of Rasmus (I think that is what it is called) and then some of the original parts of the Louvre from when it used to be a fort.
After we left we lounged around a bit outside and then walked down the Rue de Rivoli to find a patisserie for mom to get dessert, but since it was Sunday lots of stuff was closed and we couldn't find anything :(
We headed back to the hotel, ate a little lunch and headed to the train station. The return back to London on the Eurostar was the same as getting there - pretty easy but freezing cold! I also love the assigned seating, I wish Amtrak had it in the US instead of the bum rush for seats that it usually is.
Once we got back to London we were actually all taking the same subway so we got in together. About halfway to heathrow I had to get off to go to corrin's, so I sad a said goodbye to mom and poops who headed to their flight.
It was crazy rainy in London but I pretty easily found my way to Corrin's new flat, yay! She and her roommate had just moved in today and it's so nice of her to still let me crash with her. We chatted and caught up for a bit and then headed to PJ's place for dinner.
We got lost on the way there (and were the worst house guests because we brought nothing!). PJ had so graciously out together a set of British foods and we hung out with him, his man and Florian for a bunch of hours and even played some Settlers!! It was so wonderful to see some of my ACT trainers again. Of COURSE we did our Ai Se Eu Tu Pego dance and also made Corrin watch the video from training. Haha. So much love.
After that we just headed back to corrin's apartment and hit the sack for the night. I'm a bit bummed because it is so rainy here and is supposed to rain all week which means I probably won't be able to do wing walking. So so so sad :(
