Eiffel Tower


I never had the nearest thought that ever in my life I will have such a great opportunity; I am talking about the Eiffel Tower visit. It is one of the moments that I will keep in my mind forever. The Eiffel tower is such a simple name to describe this wonderful monument. I can’t explain with words all the things that I felt when I first saw the Eiffel tower, because it’s something that you can appreciate better if you are in front of the tower. It is one of the places that I will never forget.

Snail’s experience

Nathalie our tours guide told us that snails are one of the traditional France foods. My curiosity was immense and I couldn’t be the same person after I found the snails in my plate. I was very excited to taste it, Linda was in front of me; she was waiting to see my reaction. I put the first snail in my mouth and I made my happy face and I told her Umm delicious, but the reality was that I didn’t like at all. It didn’t have any special taste and the snails feel weird in the mouth. I tried it and I didn’t like it, but it was part of the French experience.

Bad Incident


One night professor Scott and some of my tours friends went out to have dinner and at the subway, a French guy started to curse at us, in French and English. Professor Scott was under control all the time, but the guy came right in front of his face, and started to curse in French again. Thank God, that the train came soon and everybody got in the train and left that obnoxious guy behind. We had another terrible experience at Peanut’s Bar. The owner of the bar was very rude with Valentina, Lucy and me. Besides, one guy at the bar was very drunk and asked me about my nationality. When I told him that I was born in Colombia, he said that the French people dislike Americans; so I preferred to move my chair and leave the man alone.

Boat Party!

Paris unforgettable moments: “Boat Party”
Saturday night Linda, Vale, Lucy and me went to a boat party that some Colombian girls on the street recommended it to us. At first everything was nice; after two hours one of the girls was tired and she wants to go back to the hotel. It was 4am and we didn’t have transportation. First we decided to take a bus and then a taxi, but when we went to take the taxi the driver starts to talk all the way back to the hotel, and gave us a long ride. Finally we were in the hotel at 5:45am, and at 7am Professor Scott was preparing a museum tour that I was waiting to go, which means on that day I couldn't sleep at all.

My first day in Paris


My first day in Paris was wonderful; I could not imagine it until I saw it. Everything was so beautiful. If I was looking to the left side or to the right every place had something amazing. I was feeling like the first time of a child in Disneyland. My tourist's face never ended from the beginning up to the end of my tour. Everything was so new for me and I was in shock with all the art, music, food and beautiful places to visit.
