Monday was our last full day in Paris. After classes, I met Mom, Dad, and Karen in the Marais for some shopping, and then we went to Les Invalides. Today was much colder than the past few days, so Dad resorted to wearing Karen's frilly, purple gloves; it was quite a site! Afterwards, Karen and I went ice skating at Hôtel de Ville and then met Mom and Dad for a delicious final dinner in Paris by the Eiffel Tower!!

On Tuesday morning we woke up to lots of snow! Not only was the RER barely running (which made me late meeting them at their hotel), but we ended up sitting on the runway for a solid three hours...fun. We finally reached Sevilla and settled in! It was a bit cloudy, but anything was better than the snow in Paris. We had a delicious meal of tapas and sangria. Mom and Dad quickly discovered their love for the ham, sausage, and cheese tapas. I'm pretty sure they had it at every meal! We ended the night with some delicious gelato and a trip to Plaza de Espana!
