Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Day 19
For our last day in Europe we took a boat tour on the River Seine, which I have to say was much better than the one in Strasbourg. We went past many of the sights that we had seen throughout the week. After the boat tour, we had lunch on our own before meeting up for a guided tour of the Montmartre quarter. It is especially well known as an art district, and is also where Moulin Rouge is. We even were able to see Van Gogh's house, and the tour ended at a massive cathedral that overlooked the entire city of Paris. Our last meal was at an extremely fancy restaurant as our send off dinner. It was a wonderful way to end the trip, full of good food, wine, music, and friends. I returned to the hotel to pack my things and say my final farewell to Europe before boarding the return flight home the following morning.

Peace, Love, and goodbye to Paris ~ Naomi
