Last Day in Paris :(

Well, today was my last day, and it was pretty eventful. I met Megan at 10:30 this morning. It took me about 30 minutes to walk to her hostel from mine. It actually worked out quite well, because she and I got there at the same time. She checked in, and then we decided to go see the Basillica. It was really pretty in there, and there was a great view of the city from up there. This was obviously a very touristy area because there were a bunch of people trying to sell us these things called friendship bracelets. It's basically where a person comes up to you with these multicolored ribbons, and they tie them around your finger. They distract you by asking you where you are from. After they tie them on you, they demand money from you! I had about 4 guys come up to me and say, "Hello. Where are you from?" And all of them had these little bracelets ready to tie. I just ignored most of them, but one guy actually came up to me and said, "Give me your finger," and tried to grab my hand! I slapped his hand away, and he left me alone after that. It was actually kind of funny. Anyway, from there we went to the pantheon, and underneath there, there are a bunch of different tombs of famous French people. We actually got to see the tombs of Voltaire and Rousseau, which was pretty cool. After spending some time there, we ate at this Greek restaurant which sold these really yummy pita bread taco things. That was probably the best meal I've had so far. Then we went to where the Bastille used to be. We both actually thought the Basillica was still standing, but after about 45 minutes of searching for it, we overheard a tourist lady reading to her husband from her book that the Bastille was the most famous monument that was not standing anymore, so we felt a bit foolish. It had started to rain a while back, so we tried to find something to do inside. We were going to go to the Louvre, but it closed at 6, and by this time it was about 5:15, so it wasn't really worth going in at that point. We then tried to get out of there, but we took a secluded way that nobody else was going because it was really crowded there. It took us to this huge parking garage, and we finally ended up getting out on this road that didn't have any sidewalks. It was a bit scary, but we managed to get out alive. Anyway, after that, we decided to stop for a nutella crepe, and I had forgotten how good those were. We sat and talked under a shaded area in an outdoor cafe for a while, then we parted our separate ways. It was a fun day, but I am excited about going to Switzerland tomorrow. I have to be at the train station by 12ish, so it should be a pretty relaxing day.
