France Day 18

Today was my 18th day in France and my 18th birthday! I woke up around ten and got ready to catch the bus to the train station. We rode the train into Paris with Marion's sister Justine and friend Marine and found a park to eat our lunch. I had a prosciutto, goat cheese and tomato sandwich that was amazing.

After we ate we walked all the way down the the Champs-Elysees to L'Arc de Triomphe. Along the way I bought a dress from H&M and a skirt at Zara, which is now my favorite store ever. We then walked down to the Abercrombie and Fitch where we got our picture made in front with the Abercrombie models. After we stopped by the Sephora where we all got our makeup done. We walked and shopped all the way to the end and went into the Louis Vuitton store. At the end of the Champs-Elysees, we visited the L'Arc de Triomphe, which is absolutely beautiful and one of my all time favorite things I've seen here.

We finished shopping around five and got back on the train to go home. Marion and I ended up going to Marion's good friend Marine's house for dinner. Her dad planned a special dinner for my birthday. It was amazing. We had all different types of ham and since I am in love with cheeses and breads we had a bunch of different types to eat. For dessert we ate a wonderful fruit salad. The fruit here is the best. It's so fresh and it just tastes so much better than what we have in America. After dinner, I came back to Marion's house to go to bed because I was beginning to get a horrible migraine.

I had an amazing birthday and am so blessed that I got to spend it in Paris! Only 2 more days left :(
