Good times: final day in paris

Time flies when your in a beautiful place like Paris. It was our last full day here in Paris. We are coming back later in the trip, but maybe only for a day, but we are beginning to get a little sad as we have discovered so many cool things that we just love.
Today we slept in a little, as we had no touristy things that we wanted to do, and finally the heat left and brought in a cool change which made the day nicer.
Today was our shopping day, so we decided we would use the metro, as our bus tour passes were out, and we didn't want to walk all the way to arc de triomphe where the good shopping was. The metro is awesome, a little tricky at 1st, but once u have it down it's amazingly fast. On the bus tour it took ages to get anywhere, and we think if we would have used the metro, we could have seen most of the sites in a day. So yeah, if you come to Paris, use the metro!!!
We had breakfast at this mega famous cake shop called laduree, which ended up being as expensive as dinner, for scrambled eggs, hot chocolate (so strong it could have burnt a hole in the table if spilt), and an assortment of pastries and the best strawberry jam ever. The place was packed with people spending up Huge in there. We saw a lady and a tone of others get at least 200€ worth of yummie things, how insane. I wish I owned that place.
After brekky, shopping was fun, got a few new things, including this crazy frenchy shirt that I like, and which Luke will probably tease me for wearing. Haha also got some shoes from this place that had so many different shoes, and were way cheaper than at home. I was stoked.
After shopping we went home for a nap until around 4pm.
We tried desperately to get on a dinner cruise but missed out 2 nights straight, so we decided to just go on the tour cruise, which was nice. We then walked from the Eiffel tower all the way to the louve, which was very romantic and enjoyable. Maddys feet were a bit sore after that. Near the louve we went on a ride that spun us around and was high. It was soo fun. We saw the louve and all of the cool places from the ride as we spun around.
From the fun ride we went and found some dinner at a little restaurant. The little lady running e place was super nice. We got snails and they were awesome!!!!! There ya go dad, no frog legs, but at least I got to eat snails.
And that ended our last day in paris. It was the funnest day by far, probably because the weather was nice, and we just chilled and walked and talked all day together.
Well tomorrow morning at 12 we fly to Portugal to begin our next little adventure.
Paris has been awesome!!
Mes Amis au revoir
