| The Eiffel Tower! |
When I said I was rolling through the countryside I was working my way through France to Paris! I was there roughly 4 to 5 days, I'm pretty far in my trip now despite my blog posts being behind (can't blame me can you), so all of time kinda merges together into the days of the week being cities and countries. I can only tell the weekends by prices being more expensive!
France was quite the experience and the host I had made it rather wonderful, we explored about on my first day getting there and walked along the river that runs through the city and went to a local bakery, it was a relaxing day. The second day her family who doesn't speak much English took me on a picnic which was wonderful and her brother and I were feeding swans until one of them hissed at me and I retreated back to the picnic blanket where then they chose to follow and hung around a little bit too close for comfort. I have come to the conclusion that geese and swans are equally mean. Later on that day I went to a good rock concert to support her best friends band and just hung around until around 1am. The next day her and her friend offered to bring me to the Renaissance festival and that was pretty cool, way better than the one in my state and it had so many cool actors, people and music it was truly wonderful! We spent the whole day there and the next day I was to head into heart of Paris for my touristic activities. The day I headed into Paris I was only in for about 6 hours and I really only got to see the Eiffel tower even though I wanted to do much more and I had a good dinner while in town. Turns out me not seeing everything was a good idea because a good friend of mine wants to revisit there with me within the next few years so it'll be great for both of us!

Now I know you're dying to hear about the food. Well basically for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is tons of sweets, my Nana would be so happy! Crêpes are truly great and they are so much for different than what you would get in the US. I tried a cheese platter and didn't like much of it, but also I hate cold cheese so if you love cheese obviously go to France because its everywhere. Another funny thing that is sold EVERYWHERE is waffles. They sell waffles with powdered sugar, with nutella or pretty much anything sweet, I saw no pancakes though! I did not try any wine while in France because I'm not much a drinker but to make up for it I ate extra crêpes and bakery delights. I have a new favorite sweet that I can't find anywhere else now and its truly heart breaking, my beloved pan au chocolat, the love of my life. Maybe I'll find some good ones in the US but I don't have my hopes too high. Needless to say everything in France is pretty much dessert, so if that's your favorite meal go there!
I really did enjoy France even though I didn't get to see more but it was a good country and pretty fun to see, can't wait to go back and see more of it later on!
The next place I headed off to was a city on water and another city near by and I'm here to solve the never ending debate of which is better.

Onwards to place that is known for many things, pizza being one of them!
