Day 60: Paris Day 1!

Today we woke up and first went to Musee D'orsay. Amanda and Amy went to meet Arianna (Amanda's best friend) at the airport but ended up getting the stops confused so they just came back to the hostel and Amanda waited for her while Sheley, Amy and I went to the museum. We met up with the other two after grabbing some breakfast, split up during the museum and then met all back together when we were finished. 
After the museum, we met up with Rachel and then headed to the Eiffel Tower, which was a completely unrealistic feeling to see. It almost felt like we were all in a dream or just looking at a picture, rather than really living it. We had planned to meet up with Kellsie and Leighton while we were there, but were unable to find them so after getting some pictures, we walked around a bit to try and find some lunch. We decided being right around the Eiffel Tower during that probably wasn't our best choice for affordable food, so we headed towards Notre Dame because we would be visiting that next. 
After arriving to that area, we found a small street with different street food options and we ended up getting some really good greek food. After the quick lunch, we went into Notre Dame. While I've seen some beautiful churches on this trip so far, I would definitely put this towards the top of my list. 
After spending some time in Notre Dame, we headed to see the Arc de Triumph and then headed back to the hostel to get ready for that evening. We wanted to do another Sandman's pub crawl, but weren't ready in time, so we tried out just a Paris Pub Crawl instead, which was a ton of fun as well. At the first bar, we met a group of guys from Australia who we then hung out with for the rest of the night too. 
We also met some people from Germany and everyone had a really goodnight. We all left at different times, so Sheley and I left together, grabbed some questionable snacks from a place called Golden Food across from our hostel and then headed to bed.
