I woke up the next morning to them talking in Spanish. They completely ignored the fact that I was in the room for the entire duration of our morning routine. That was another thing that was bothering me all weekend. Everytime Diana would get mad at me, she would talk to Nasha in Spanish. One time Nasha was like dude talk in English. I understand that it is easier for her to talk in Spanish, but when we are doing something as a group and need to discuss it, don’t just talk to Nasha in Spanish like I’m not even there. Its rude! Anyway, we headed out to grab breakfast and everyone wanted McDonald’s again, but I was sick of having the same thing every morning. And paying about 3.5 Euros for a croissant and a glass of orange juice! I wanted quality burger because they had a deal for 4.80 and you get a bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, a croissant, yogurt, juice, and hot chocolate! That was a way better deal! But Diana refused to eat there, so I got my food to go and then met them in McDonalds.
We were eating when it started raining again. It had been dark and gloomy all morning and we knew it was most likely going to rain. But Diana had decided to wear her nice flats, so she insisted on going back to the hotel and changing. By the time she returned it was already approaching 11 and we needed to leave for the airport at about 3:30, 4 at the latest. Her flight left at 6:25 and ours not until 8:15 but we agreed to go with her so she didn’t have to go alone. They had done the same for me because my flight to Paris left an hour before theirs.
So we rushed over to Notre Dame took some pictures and then realized the line we saw was not for the towers, it was just for going inside. We didn’t have time to wait in line, so we were just standing there near the entrance when we saw a bunch of people skipping, we thought about doing it, but I was feeling guilty. We were about to leave when a nice older lady overheard us talking and was like we are skipping the line too if you want to join us. She was very nice and we talked to her about her family and about our studies and we explained how we had a plane to catch but that we really wanted to see the inside. She said that they were there the day before and she wouldn’t let her husband skip, but that they came back today and the line wasn’t any better. We quickly walked through the gorgeous cathedral. And just my luck, I forgot I had a regular alarm set for my 11:30 class on Tuesday and it started going off inside…where there was supposed to be silence! I was freaking out, the stupid thing wouldn’t turn off and finally after what seemed like an eternity, I got it off. I was so bad because they were having mass! I had had it on silent, but the stupid alarm still rings on silent!
Anyway, we got out of there and headed to the shopping street to do some last minute shopping. Nasha still had to get her mom’s perfume and I wanted some lotion and stuff. On our way to Champs-Elysees, we came across a store called Jennyfer that is a French clothing brand. We went inside and were in heaven! The prices were relatively cheap and their clothes were so cute! We spent too long in there! I ended up buying a swimsuit for only 14 Euros and a pair of sunglasses since mine broke the other day. Then we headed across the street to find Diana and I ended up getting a tank top in that store. There was a dress I fell in love with, but they didn’t have in in my size =( . Anyway then we ran to the grocery store so I could get some more tarts to bring home with me and we wanted some water. Then we headed to Sephora for the beauty products we wanted. After that, I wanted to head to the store where my coat was, I had talked myself into getting it, I was like when will I ever be in Paris again. But Diana insisted on going to this other shopping mall…we wasted so much time looking for it. Then we ended up just jumping on a train back to the hotel because it was getting late.
There was a nice lady in the train station that helped us get to another one because the line we needed to take from that one was broken down. Once we got on the extremely crowded train Diana was like ouch. She had gotten a paper cut from my shopping bag. I apologized and then she kept saying ouch, ow, I’m bleeding! Nasha was like what?! (because she was making a huge deal out of it) and Diana was like She Cut Me…and I was like oh no…that was not my fault, its not like I purposely cut you with my shopping bag! And Nasha was like yes, I’m sure Erin was like oh hey lets cut Diana! Both of us were not happy with the way she was acting then. We finally got to our stop and headed to subway to grab some lunch to take with us to the airport. Diana had left before I was done ordering and when Nasha and I got to the hotel, we couldn’t find her. We shoved our stuff in our suitcases and then the receptionist told us that she was upstairs in the bathroom. Once she was done, we ran to the grocery store to grab some chocolate that we were eyeing earlier but didn’t want to carry around all day. Then we headed to the train station.
To Nasha and I’s surprise, Pinar and her boyfriend met us there. We all got our tickets and were heading to the train. Nasha and I both had big suitcases and everyone else just had little carry-ons. Diana took off with Pinar and they just left us behind without even looking back. When we finally caught up with them Nasha was flaming! She went off on her and was like why did you just leave us, you didn’t even look back, blah blah…and Diana just looked at her and was like “we were walking.” Nasha was like you were walking?! And what were we doing… So we just walked to a different part of the platform. Then Diana had the nerve to come up to me and tell me that I owe Pinar 5 Euros for the dump she reserved! Then she walked away. Nasha and I didn’t talk to her for the rest of the day. When we got to the airport, they just left. I was telling Nasha its nice that we came to the airport 2 hours early for her so she could just ditch us. We tried to forget about all that crap and we ate our sandwiches and then visited one of the stores. We found a scratch-off machine and I won 1 Euro! =) lol Then we boarded our plane and eventually got back to Germany. Then we had an hour and a half train ride home from Frankfurt. We finally got to our homes at around 12:15. We were both so glad to put Paris behind us and be back home in Germany!
