Paris for the Weekend!

Image
At the beginning of August, we had the privilege of going to Paris for a super quick weekend trip. It was a total whirlwind but it was tons of fun. This was Drew's first time to visit Paris and my second time. It's been so fun going to back to places with Drew and having a totally different experience. We landed in Paris in the evening and decided to head straight to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night. As soon as we got through security, the lights on the tower started flashing. It was so beautiful! We then went to see the Louvre at night. Our Saturday was jammed packed with things to do, sights to see, and pastries to eat! It was a great day. I think we ended up walking 30,000 steps that day and there was a heat wave in Paris that weekend. So, we definitely earned all those macaroons we ate :) Here is a look at our day in Paris: We started our day off by going back to the Eiffel Tower!  Views from the top!

Portugal - Porto & Lisbon

 Towards the end of July we were able to travel to Portugal with our friends, Marissa and Tom. They both live here in Munich and have become great friends :) Marissa is from Utah and Tom is from the UK! Our first stop was to Porto which I had never been to. We had a blast during our four days in Porto! The first night we got there we checked into our AirBnb and took in the stunning views from our porch (see below!) and then headed out for our first Portuguese dinner. We all got the very famous Porto dish: Francesinha- a sandwich made with 3-4 different types of meat, covered in melted cheese, topped with a tomato type sauce. You could also add a fried egg on top (I opted out of the egg LOL). The boys loved this dish but I really didn't prefer it.  The next day we had a tour with my favorite tour company: We Hate Tourism Tours ! During my study abroad days, I visited Lisbon and did a tour with them and completely loved it. I loved it so much I took my sister back that same year...
