Paris Day 4

Picnic at the Eiffel Tower was amazing. I bought a baguette, lettece, camembret cheese, and an apple. Made myself a sandwich and it tasted like heaven. We also bought all of our food at a street market. Oh I also had some macaroons. Had a baguette fight in front of the tower before we ate them too. We slept for a good hour or more and burned. Michaela and my chest are red from the sun. Good thing that was it for me, I think her arms got some red too. Other than my chest, my legs, arms, and face are tanned. Not so pale anymore. It was really nice, around 60s and 70s with wind. After the picnic, we walked to the Montparnesse Tower. It's a better view than the Eiffel tower, because you're not crowded and you get the tower in the skyline. 

"Do it for the blog."



After that, we went back to the hotel to lay around and be lazy with grocery store, Monoprix, dinner. Michaela stayed in while Alie and I took the metro to the Eiffel tower to see it at night, we also bought some liqueur to make the night even better. Took a coupe (shot) under the tower. Also, at 11pm the tower sparkled for five minutes. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It really hits you. While we were in front of the tower I met Sam, some one Alie knew @As.vanquish


Things Sam says repeatedly (sorry for the vulgar language):

  • "Fuck you, I have a daughter."
  • "Go live your fucking asshole life."
  • "Go to Morocco and say, fuck you, and nobody can say you're a crazy girl"
  • "He is a playboy, I would fuck him. I'm not gay."
  • "My safe is your safe."
  • "Never forget your mother, and your father is an asshole."

Day 5 (the day we leave) was spent with two baguettes, liqueur, e'claire, and macaroons. Saw the Arc de Triomphe and the shopping streets. The Louvre gardens (jardens) and the Eiffel tower. Leaving the tower was really hard, I walked backwards from it for two blocks. And lilacs everywhere. 

The Eurostar ride back, I was awake when we were under the channel (water) and you can't see anything. Going through passport check, my guy was really intense. He asked me more questions than usual. Like, "what are you studying?" and "What date are you flying out?" and "Where are you flying in?"and more. The first time they just wanted my acceptance letter from Uni Kent and done. And leaving France, the three of us girls drank over 15 liters of diet Coca-Cola. 




Oh also, I had an incident at a Monoprix yesterday. I hate French people now, I disliked them before and now it turned into hate. I was shopping for dinner with the girls and I still had camembret cheese from lunch but I didn't know how good it was after a few hours so I took it out to check and put it back and decided to buy another container. Well after checking out, two men came up to me and was speaking in French about looking in my bag. They took the cheese and were freaking out about me stealing it. I had them open it and it was half eaten and I showed them a photo on my phone of the cheese with a time stamp from almost five hours ago. They went into the security camera room and a few minutes later they made me come in and showed me the footage of me putting the cheese into my bag, you couldn't see the part of me taking the cheese out first. They also showed me the date on my cheese was the same as their cheese. Duh, because I bought it at a Monoprix earlier (the same date). They kept speaking in French at me and I was getting upset because they still didn't believe me. So I yelled. I yelled, "I didn't steal it and I'm not paying for it" and they just gave me a look like I was a thief and let me walked. Idiots. Because how do I eat half a container of cheese within the two second  video footage of putting the cheese in my bag? Just really irritated me. French people are the worst people. They don't deserve the tower and the baguettes. Sorry to any French people reading this but my blog, my opinion. 

Back in Canterbury. I saw the Uni fox. Yes, there is a fox I see all the time when I am out late on campus. And in town this morning I said "Pardon" and "Merci" on accident.
