A lot of people my age dream of spending a week in Paris with their fiance before they get married, well I actually got to do that this last week, and it was definitely a dream come true! I loved every minute of it, and Paris definitely lived up to my expectations. It was a very romantic few days without a doubt, it was a great place to be with the love of my life, and Camilia Malnar (almost Lund) certainly meets those qualifications! It was so fun exploring the city with her and finding our way around with our little maps, it was even fun the times (more than one) where we would get lost and have to walk around fairly aimlessly to find our way. I swear it doesn't matter what I do with Camilia we have a fun time and fall more in love with each other. Our first night there we went on a boat tour through the river of Paris, and the best part was seeing the Eiffel tower lit up as we were riding along. After the tour we went up to the top of the tower, and let's just say that is one big daddy! It was just as big as we had imagined it, we were both blown away by its size and grandeur. The elevator up to the top was a little scary at times, but we protected each other and made one another feel safe. When we were halfway between the bottom and the top the tower lit up and sparkled, which was a lot of fun and made my Camilly look like a movie star. We also enjoyed some great museums, the best of course being Le Louvre. It was great to be able to experience together some of the most famous masterpieces of art, including the Mona Lisa. Versailles was also an incredible place to experience together, where we took a lot of engagement pictures. The funnest part of that adventure was definitely the boat ride we went on. I did my job as a gentleman and rowed us around the lake that they have in the massive and beautiful gardens there, and Camilia was a great navigational guide who would tell me when I was about to hit the wall. We enjoyed some great food in Paris such as crepes, and some not so good food too such as snails. The snails were a good cultural experience but let's just say that will be our last snail experience for some time, by that I mean our last experience ever. By the end of the snail meal I was just muscling down the rest of them because Cam couldn't handle anymore and I didn't want our 12 Euros for 12 snails to go to waste. Another fun thing we did was "lock our love in Paris". I didn't know about this tradition, but Cam looked into it and brought a cute lock that she had painted with two keys. We locked the lock onto a bridge, and through the keys in the water to lock our love in Paris, so now it's official! It was an incredible few days with the person in the world I love and care for the most, and I'm so grateful that we had the opportunity to experience the most romantic city in the world together.
