Back to Paris (Feb. 8th)

Right now I´m sitting in a cute little sandwich shop in Paris, it is 5 degrees celcius which is a little chilly but a lot better than what it was when we were here earlier this week. This morning we made our way to the train station. It was so amazing to see the weather change as we glided through the French countryside on the train. First, it was sunny and blue skies. Then it was cloudy, then rainy, then lightly dusted with snow, then A LOT of snow, then back to clouds with some sun. When we were going through the snow I think there was ice under the tracks because every now and then we´d hear these big cracking/thumping sounds; a little concerning at first but with how big and fast the train was I knew nothing would go wrong. That´s all for now we´ll see what else we do in Paris.

(Later on...)
We checked into our hostel, there was a private double room so we snached that up because it was only 2 € more for it to be just Tammy and I. Dropped off our stuff and then headed to Musee d´Órsay on our way walking along the Seine river we stopped at a little souvenir/painter´s stand and I bought some old fashion Paris advertisements that I plan to frame and hang in my future apartment! Then we made it to the museum which had more modern, impressions, and landscape art. Some of my favorites were Monet, Van Gogh, Henri Edmond Cross, and Seurat. Then we went to the grocery store to buy baguettes and cheese for dinner since we ate out for lunch. Haha that´s what we do, eat our for either lunch or dinner and make our own meal from the grocery store for the other. We were so proud because on our little outing we didnt even need our map...we felt so proud walking around Paris not even needing a map. What travelers we are!
