The day was spent exploring the great city of Paris! We started the morning with breakfast at the hostel before setting out for our adventure. We made our way towards the Seine River and caught a glimpse of Notre Dame. Unfortunately, we were unable to tour the inside (due to the recent fire) but we did see as much as we could from the outside. Next, we made our way along the river towards the center of Paris. We passed through Tuileries Garden on our way to the Champ de Mars. Here, we saw and climbed the Eiffel Tower! The view from the first and second levels were beautiful. After our decent, we had lunch in the park before making our way to the Arc de Triomphe. Crepe Scott! What is that?! A stand that sells a delicious French dessert! Of course we bought a round of crepes before taking the underground tunnel to the center of the roundabout that is home to the Arc. On our way back to our hostel, we did a little shopping on the Champs-Élysées. After a long day of adventuring and after dinner, the group watched the USA beat England in the semi final match of the Fifa World Cup! The group rests now and is looking forward to the bike ride to Versailles tomorrow!
