I had a great time during my final day in France. I had dinner at a small, authentic french bistro. While the food was amazing (the best ducks confit I have ever had), the coolest part was the clientele. All the other customers were Parisians who knew the waitresses by name and had been eating there for years. I sat next to a couple of older ladies who wanted to practice speaking English with me, so I practiced speaking French with them. We spent the whole meal discussing the cultural differences between France and America. After dinner, they took me out and showed me their favorite bakery. It was a very cool cross-cultural experience.
I then went and sat on the lawn of the Eiffel Tower and watched the sunset. While there, I met several French girls who thought it was the coolest thing ever that I was from America. I ended up spending the rest of the night
with them. It was a great chance to practice my French speaking.
I have had a lot of great experiences during my stay in France. Even though I am leaving soon, I fully plan to return. This is just the beginning of what I hope to be many trips to this great country.
