We went out to dinner before our drive around the city at night. Oh boy, what a night! Drinks were included, and people were determined not to let anything go to waste. There was this really nice white wine that was mixed with something to turn it pink which made it a bit sweeter, and I must admit it was quite tasty. But after they didn't serve that again, I stuck to my bottle of coke. Sarah had earlier claimed that she wasn't going to be drinking, but as the corner of the room started singing Happy Birthday to a member of our group, she pipes up, "Well, I don't know who's birthday it is, but it's someone's and here's a toast to whoever it is. It's always someone's birthday somewhere!" Oh, what fun.
Yes, as the title says, I ate escargot and duck this evening. Surprisingly enough, the snails were really tasty! If I'm ever in Paris again, I shall order them once more. See my video that I uploaded on Facebook, it was fun to try and dig them out of the shells. My daringness continued as I ordered duck for my main course. It was a very tender chicken, but with it's own distinct flavor. I was pleased with it.
After our rowdy dinner, we headed off for the climax of the night: the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. I won't bother wasting words on trying to describe it, because I can do it no justice. So please accept my explanation through this picture.
Sadly enough, once you see the Tower at night, nothing else can ever really compare. So the drive around the city kind of lost it's magic, but it was still really nice. Paris, you lived up to my expectations and beyond.
