The few days I spent in Paris were fun, but it did not last long enough—it felt as though I simply peek-a-booed and left. The city has so much to offer, and it takes a while to really explore the tiniest bit. Of course, I went and saw Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to go inside the Louvre, but I did see I.M. Pei’s pyramid which marks the entrance. However, I must admit that one of the best times I had in Paris was at the market I went to early Sunday morning. There were vendors selling everything from fresh fruit to sausage to shoes. Each day we simply walked around in awe of this city that was made to be beautiful. And whenever we would get hungry, we would have what is known as a “Parisian sandwich”: Fresh baguette + cheese + some sort of meat + mayonnaise = yummy yummy in my tummy. I definitely plan on returning very soon; there is a train that leaves Dijon for Paris early in the morning and returns later that evening, and it only costs 15€, which even I can afford.
