It didn’t taste good in the beginning because I’m not used to France cuisine but after a while everything
started tasting delicious. After the meal I decided to order a slice of lemon meringue pie served with
sparkling champagne. I call the waiter for the receipt and resume to walk around.
I was getting tired so I went to the park and just sat of the benches watching the ducks waddling in the
pond. I sat there for a few minutes and decided to go back to my hotel.
If you thought I only bought a sweater you were wrong. There were so many distractions likes’ cosmetics,
clothes and souvenirs. By the end of the day I was carrying 8 bags filled with things. I rested for a bit and
went to the museum; outside I see the statue of ‘The Thinker” I take some pictures and go in. I walk
around admiring different varies of artworks, ranging from big clay status to small portraits.
After about 4 hours in the museum I thought that I should buy some sweets to bring back home for my
family so they can taste some. I go to the grocery store to pick some snacks. I chose this “carambar” which is
a caramel bar and some bonbons. I purchase them and go back to my hotel room and started preparing my
clothes for tomorrow.
I take a shower and wear my pyjamas and look out the window, seeing Paris with bright lights and the Eiffel
Tower illuminating the city. I grab my camera and take a stunning picture of Paris nightlife. It looked like
something out of a dream. I lay on my bed staring out the window and I few moments later I drifted off to
sleep.
I wake up the next morning realizing that today was my flight back home. I get ready and check out and
walk to the bakery and purchase 5 boxes of pastries to bring home and share. I call a cab and we drive to the
airport.

I am in the plane dreaming about my next holiday spot. Where should I go? Mexico, Brazil, London? Who
knows but I am looking forward to it. I plug in my headsets and go to sleep.
