How far did I travel this week?:

On the weekend, a few new friends that I met at my school's welcome program and I decided to go to Bruges, Belgium! It was cold and windy, but it did not stop us from having fun and doing a walking tour of the beautiful city! On my last day there, I got up early to rent a bicycle and ride around before it was time to catch the train back to Paris. However, we didn't leave without trying the famous Belgian waffles and fries - yum!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

From San Diego to Paris, I traveled 5,682 miles plus 180 miles for my trip to Bruges! This amounts to a total of 3 countries and 5,862 miles!

How did I get around this week?:

This week I walked, flew, took a ferry and used the Metro! The Metro is the name of the subway system here in Paris. That is a lot for a person who usually only drives. I will admit that I did get lost on the Metro; however getting lost in Paris is not such a big deal, as there are plenty of signs and people to ask to help figure out where you are! 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Thanks to my Paris tour book, I visited La Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris! It was especially cool because it was established in 1686 and is still standing 334 years later.
