We’ve had a fair amount of posts about Le Cordon Bleu, but almost
none about our other experiences in Paris, so I thought I should share a bit.
Our adventures haven’t taken us very far, and certainly not
out of France. The first day we hit all of the tourist-y spots on a
Hop-On-Hop-Off bus. Since we’ve both been to Paris before we really didn’t have
any destinations we absolutely had to go. Once Jacob started class and I had
more free time I spent some time shopping for a wedding dress (how could I not
shop when in one of the fashion capitals of the world?!) as well as hitting
some of the lesser known museums.
Overall my biggest surprise involves…sunglasses. My
goodness, if you want to feel like an obvious outsider walk around Paris in
sunglasses. So few people do that I’m shocked when I see another person wearing
them. That doesn’t stop me one bit as my eyes are fairly sensitive, but it
brings a smile to my face just thinking about how odd that is to me. What a
weird thing to even notice! :-)
The farthest we’ve gone is an hour outside of Paris. This
past Sunday, our normal day off for the week, Jacob and I went to Disneyland
Paris (formerly Euro Disney). It consists of two parks, the Magic Kindgom and
Walt Disney Studios, as well as a Disney Village and numerous hotels. I was
raised on Disney and am obsessed with every last detail of the whole company,
so it’s an under exaggeration to say I was excited.
It was great fun and such a nice break, almost as if we had
left Europe for a bit. Our favorite ride? Crush’s Coaster, which broke down
while we were on it the second time. And we’re talking light’s on- evacuation-break-down.
Good fun for us, and I got a few nice videos of the inside of the ride. One video is below (we'll spare you the one of me talking).
More posts about our courses to come!
