Today we visited Angelina Paris café and enjoyed some of the finest hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted. It was like chocolate melted straight into a cup. I may or may not have had 3 cups because it was that good. I didn’t try any of the pastries though.
We also witnessed a protest. The participants had on yellow vests, but I’m not sure whether they were a part of the movement that has been gaining world attention protesting the government. It seemed as though it may have been some health care workers protesting. The lady in this picture has a sign saying that she is a nurse. She goes on to ask what is wrong and says that everything is wrong and that she is being destroyed. It makes me wonder if maybe here they are overworked and underpaid as well.

June 2, 2019 Today after breakfast, Lane, Ben and I went back to the Arc De Triomphe to do some shopping. I was excited to find my favorite puff pastries from Odette again. Those things are so delicious. While I didn’t find much on my shopping trip, I did find a new mug to add to my collection from Starbucks. I love that Starbucks has been a huge part of the trip for me. I would venture to say that this has been my one comfort from home that I was glad I could have. I was also excited to try the different foods at different Starbucks in different countries. I feel like the ones in America need to up their game.

June 3, 2019 Today was a day for last minute errands and shopping. We went back to the Latin Quarter. I could spend an entire week there and still feel like it wasn’t long enough. This picture is in a garden next to Shakespeare and Company. I love all the flowers I keep seeing. I think when I get home, I’m going to have a picture album made of the trip and have some of the pictures put onto canvas. This really has been an amazing trip and I’m already looking forward to my next trip back.

June 4, 2019 The experiences at both Charles De Gaulle and Detroit airports today has to be some of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever experienced. I was made to check my carry-on bag and was quoted one price but charged a different. Not only that, I had to stand in line again for 2 hours to pay for the bag. Staff was constantly cutting the line making my wait longer. I can appreciate the fact that security screenings are important and don’t mind having to do them. As I went to get on board, my boarding pass would not scan. The only thing said to me in English was to step aside, everything else was in French. We basically played charades to figure out what they needed me to do. I managed to have to empty my bags and get frisked. When we arrived back in Detroit, it was the same thing all over. They said I had “suspicious” areas on my body. I can understand my leg as it was swollen, but the lady even frisked it with my pant leg up. I also had my bags searched again because I forg...
