Week 2 Febbo - BEST Birthday Gift

    I usually don't have the best memory, but for some reason, this one thing my aunt told me when I was about 10 or 11 years old, really stuck with me. When I was about 10 or 11 years old my aunt had promised me that when I turned 16 she would take me to Paris. Obviously, I was absolutely mind blown that she had even mentioned this to me, but there was part of me that thought it was just a joke. I had always kind of remembered her saying that to me and I would joke about it from time to time with her, but we never actually had seriously talked about it before. 

    Fast forward to my 16th birthday, my aunt gave me a gift I will never forget, a trip to visit Paris. I couldn't believe she had kept her promise that she told me, several years earlier. I was over the moon excited to go to Paris. I am someone who loves to travel and experience different cultures, so being able to travel to Europe was like a dream come true.     

    When we finally got to Paris, I quickly fell in love with the beautiful city. I loved everything about it, besides the fact I couldn't understand what most things said, since I don't speak French, but luckily my aunt spoke a little French and she lead me across the beautiful city. We went to many local shops, restaurants, and we even toured the Louvre Museum and ate lunch at the Eiffel Tour. The city was absolutely breathtaking. Sadly, our wonderful trip was over before I knew it and it was time to go home. Although, I was sad to leave, I was excited to go home and tell my family and friends about my trip.

    I am forever grateful that I was able to go on that trip with my aunt. It deepened my love for traveling and hopefully, I will be able to go back one day. It was truly the best birthday gift I could've ever asked for.
