PARIS

since i had already been to paris once before, the best part this time was visiting my british bestie, holly.

she is doing a year abroad in paris right now, dreamy right? so she let us stay in her cute little flat with her & even take over her bed. 

she was a lovely tourguide & her french helped us out quite a bit.

holly lives close by the montmartre so that was our first stop. & we watched the eiffle tower sparkle with thousands of lights from up there on the hill.

we did a good job of eating like parisians. with coffee&pastries at a nice cafe for breakfast. baguettes&savory crepes for lunch. dinner reservations at a nice restaurant called Le Progres. and we even had the best gelato of the whole trip which was shaped like a flower [and we definitely know our gelato].

we relaxed at a few different parks throughout our explorations of paris & on the grass by the eiffel tower.

we climbed the stairs to see the view from the top of the arch de triompe.

& we compared british/american english like how they call a fanny back a bum bag :)

who would have known i'd be seeing holly for the third summer in a row after we said goodbye the first summer we met in girona, spain? life is fun like that.
