France

I recently took a trip to France with my mom which was very enjoyable!!! I went to visit my sister, Melissa, in St-Etienne!! We had a very nice flight to France, as we got bumped up to business class seats!!! Boy, do they have lots of leg room!!! We arrived in Amsterdam at about 7:00am their time. We had a brief stopover and than took a 45 minute plane ride to Paris, France. We got there and it took us a bit to find our hotel, but we did! We were slightly dissappointed in the food, but we definitely survived off crepes, and all the patisseries!! Finally, we found a Starbucks where you can get really big cups of coffee and tea!!! We spent a few nights there and then rented a car and drove down to my sisters. But before that, we, of course, saw the Eiffle Tower and l'Arc de Triomphe! After arriving in St-Etienne while following the maps, we became lost! Eventually, we found someone who brought us there. We were tired and excited to finally see my sister! We spent many days there before, sadly, we had to go home!!! We took the train in the morning to Lyon where we went to the airport. We flew to Amsterdam, a 2h flight. We again had a small stopover and flew home to Pearson International! We touched down with snow billowing down! We waited on the runway for a bit until we were permitted to go. We gathered our luggage and went home, which did take a while because of the snow and traffic! That was the end of eating non-stop pastrys!!! We had an awesome time! If ever made possible to take a trip there, do not turn it down! It's worth it!
