Last year I had the privilege of going to Paris with my business honors program, Kolodzik Business Scholars. I absolutely LOVED my time in Paris and always said if I had the chance to go back that I would. My 21st birthday is approaching and even though I always knew I would be away from family and friends during this special birthday, it really hit home this week. I'm at the point now where I want to see a familiar face. I want to talk to someone who has known me for years and who gets me. Then I realized that KBS was once again coming to Paris...and it was the weekend before my birthday. What's even more important is that one of my good friends, Allison, would be on the trip. After talking with her, I decided that being with my friends and fellow classmates was EXACTLY what I needed! I can honestly say after my trip that I'm in a better place--happier than I I have been in the past week! Even though I had already explored Paris prior to this trip, I still got to do some new things and once again take in the beauty of the City of Love. I obviously have less pictures than my London trip but I still wanted to post a few :)
Like I said in my previous post, I am not a fan of art but if you go to Paris, you must go the Louvre! Every piece of art is absolutely amazing, including the pyramid that is in the center of the museum. I cannot even describe the enormity of this place or post the vast amount of pictures of the art because it's something you have to see for yourself. However, below I posted some of the famous pieces of art like the Wings of Victory and of course, the Mona Lisa. Others are just pictures from around the Louvre :)
Fun Fact: The Mona Lisa is VERY tiny. It is probably like the size of a regular picture in your house. Very disappointing but cool to see in person. So of course, I had to take a selfie with her ;)

Next was just having fun with friends! We had a lot of "fun" trying to figure out where the famous macaroon shop, Laudree, was located in Paris. We walked up and down the same street for maybe 45 minutes! We kept asking people but due to our terrible French accents, no one had any idea what store we were talking about so we were super lost. Finally, we found a guy who spoke perfect English and French and he was able to identify where we wanted to go and give us directions! We finally arrived at Laudree and let me tell you...best macaroons of my life!!! Definitely worth the pain!
Last part of the day was spent cruising the streets and eating dinner by the Eiffel with friends! I already have a million Eiffel pictures from my last trip but a few more don't hurt... right?
Another amazing weekend in Paris with FRIENDS!! Blessed to be able to fly somewhere short notice and have a great time! Up above the clouds back to Bilbao. Je te time Paris <3
