Well, I can now say I have been on a 9 and a half hour plane ride! We flew into Paris on Friday morning after a long plane ride. It was a very nice plane though, each person had individual T.V.'s to watch movies or T.V. Shows, we each got a pillow and blanket, along with dinner and breakfast! It wasn't bad at all! I ended up getting to see the movie Puss and Boots finally! It was a cute movie!
When we got to Paris, France, it was much different then the United States! It was very busy and people there were not the best drivers I thought! There were people on motorcycles zooming in and out of the traffic! It was crazy! I'm pretty sure I would have been a nervous wreck if I was driving! It was also pretty gloomy for the most part, but it felt nice!
Here is me at the Eiffel Tower!
It was so crazy to think all the times I have only see the Eiffel Tower in pictures and now I finally got to see it in person! We were not able to go up the Eiffel Tower because the line was 4 HOURS LONG! Crazy! So instead we got to go on a boat ride that traveled around Paris so we could see all the cool things about Paris like Notre Dame!
We finally arrived in Valencia, Spain Friday night and got settled in our dorms! It's crazy to think that we are 7 hours ahead of Texas! Our day is almost over, when back at home everybody's day has just started! I also realized how much nicer Valencia is from Paris! It is not as busy and feel's much more safe! Or at least in the areas I have been at!
Today, Saturday, it's about 7pm and here they do not eat dinner until 9pm! It seems so late compared to the time I normally eat at home! I also found out that you never want to miss out on lunch at the dorm! Today we had spagetti and it was awesome!!! I also figured out that lunch is the biggest meal that they have during the day! So I'm assuming that it will be a good meal all the time!!
We spent most of the day exploring Valencia doing a scavenger hunt that our teachers gave us! It was awesome to explore and see other things! I definitely like Valencia much better than Paris! We ended up at the beach and spend like 2 or 3 hours there! The beach here is awesome and WAY better than it is at home! The sand is clean and the water is clear! I have a feeling we will be here a lot while we are in Valencia!
Well, I think that is all for today! We are going to see the Holy Graille tomorrow so that should be fun!
Have an awesome day!!
Cool pictures Dana. Sounds Like you are going to have a wonderful adventure there in Spain.
