Sharing a few Paris ‼️FAILS‼️to prove it ain’t all crepes and giggles:
•Thought I lost my wallet - even to the point of thinking our waiter snatched it 🙄— when all along it was in hiding deep in my bag. Because of said wallet ordeal, we missed the twinkling of the Eiffel Tour at 11 pm - under which we planned to drink too much wine & marvel at the grandeur of it all (we still did both) •We bought a 2-Day Paris train pass immediately upon arriving & only used it twice due to our newfound adoration of the electric scooter craze (which will soon be lessening in/leaving Paris due to high injury rates & high numbers of irritated French people — which I for one totally understand) •I wish I was finished with the poor investments side of Paris, but Annie insists I tell you that I went to UO to buy a much-needed phone case and left with the wrong size case not ONCE but TWICE. Returned the first one for the “right” one...only to discover I apparently have no clue what I hold in my hands all day everyday. 🙃📱 •Speaking of incredibly horrible money decisions: We bought tickets to The Louvre...got in...sat down to the long awaited Starbucks of our dreams....and then managed to miss gracing the presence of the Mona Lisa because we didn’t realize how early it closes. FAIL. Most expensive Starbucks of my life. 0 for 2 in Louvre attempts (last time LK & I reserved the visit for a Tuesday - on which day it’s always closed) **Also while we’re on the topic, Mona is voted the #1 Most Disappointing Tourist Attraction in France so I guess we’re sorta ok...if you forget the thousands of other priceless works of art we missed... •I’m too tired to think of more at the moment (Munich, Austria & Paris in 4 days has me beat!) but I’ll add to the post as they come back to me. All I know is that I’m sitting in the train with bloody knees (ate sh➖t not once but (you already know) TWICE in the rainy wet underground today & I am feeeelin’ it). Paris, you cute but you kinda difficult. Dang thankful for the mems on mems we were able to make this weekend. I feel so blessed for this experience of a lifetime....but also because I think I’m developing a top abdominal muscle under all this pasta due to the endless laughter that has echoed throughout this weekend.) Paris, we out.
