Mike's Visit to Paris...for the Second Time :)

The week before Croatia, my friend Mike stopped by for a few days on his way back to the States. He was studying in London for the semester, but his program started and ended earlier than the Paris one. We had a great few days packed with fun! On his first night in Paris, we had a great dinner at Place St. Michel and then went to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. It was so strange to think that during my first time on the Arc, I was bundled in a winter coat and scarf. This time it was a beautiful and warm night! Afterwards, we walked along the Champs Élysées and had tea and macaroons at L'Adurée. It was a very "French" night, hahaha. The next day, Mike did lots of exploring while I was in class, and then we spent some time lounging in the park with a baguette, because it was such a beautiful day. Afterwards, we cooked dinner and then did some exploring in Montmartre. It really is one of the most beautiful areas of Paris. On Mike's last full day in Paris (and Europe), he headed to Versailles, and after my classes we went to DISNEYLAND!!! We had a blast. The weather was perfect, and the lines weren't too long. It's also the 20th year celebration of the park, which is pretty neat. We walked along Main Street, which is very similar to the one in Florida and then headed to Space Mountain, which is actually better than the one in Florida...I won't spoil it for you, though; you'll have to come check it out yourself. We also watched the parade, went on the Haunted House ride, rode Big Thunder Mountain, the Indiana Jones roller coaster, and went on Pirates of the Caribbean. We ended our night by watching the fountain, light, and fireworks show. It was a great day! Friday morning he caught his train back to London and flew home to the states just in time for OOzeball at UConn!
