The Louvre

We woke up at 7 am to go to the Louvre early. They opened at 9 and we wanted to get there right when they opened in case it was crowded. We got there and was amazed how huge it was. We got lost a few times walking around. My favorite section was the Egyptian, it was really kool. We saw a lot of sculptures and old world paintings, and we saw the mona lisa. That picture kind of freaks me out it reminds me of the stories Eli use to tell us when we were young about the killer china dolls, she kinda looked like she could be one and she was starring at me haha. We ate breakfast at the louve, an glass of orange juice was 4.50 euros crazy!! At least it was good! We stayed there for a couple of hours then we were really tired so we took like a 2 hour nap before we had to get on our train to Prague. We went to the wrong train station we thought it was the one that we bought our tickets at but of course not it was the other one..good thing we left early. We ate at the first train station and a little bird stole my croissant off my plate, the waiter gave me another one. It was kind of funny how it happened because the bird kept starring at me and when i looked away he snatched it. When we got to the right train station we had many issues of course! When we bought our tickets the lady made us buy 1st class tickets bc she said coach wasnt available and when we went to get on the train the stupid train manager refused to let us on, because he said that our euro rail tickets said 2nd class and i was like yea but we bought first class tickets and he said it doesnt matter we cant get on first class. I was like you must be kidding me so he was like you have to go sit in coach and we were like well the lady told us when we bought them that there werent anymore available thats why we paid an extra 160 euros so we went down where he told us too and that train lady said no go in first class so we went back to him and he said no go to coach so we went where he told us to and of course there were no seats so we walked around the damn train with our heavy bags till we could find empty seats finally we did and now I am here typing on my computer. I really HATE the train system!!! He told us we could go talk to the people at the desk but the train was leaving in 5 min so we had no choice we had to get on. So maybe at the next train station i can talk to someone about a refund but I highly doubt they will give it to me. Im just happy to be on our way to prague where we can unpack and do laundry!!
Oh and I bought postcards for everyone which no one will prob get because I put the wrong damn stamps on them so if Ryan, Eli, Dad, Mom, A. Mary and U. Joe, Gram, Grandad, Allen and Kaeli if yall get them let me know!
