This weekend Reid, Ryan, Teddy, and I all went to Paris. The trip started out a little rough with a 2-hour train delay and mixed up Airbnb (people renting out rooms of their houses) plans, but in the end we all had a great time! We did most of the tourist sites including the Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, Notre Dame, the and the Arc de Triomphe. Contrary to what some say, the city did not smell bad overall, just in very few certain areas, but that may be different during the summer.

Just me and my new friends in the Catacombs, they aren't looking so hot!

We rented bikes for part of the day on Saturday, it was awesome being able to see more of the city that way!
