Caitlin Takes Copenhagen : Escapade Parisian-- Parisian Getaway!

Last Friday I met Mike in Paris! He came to visit me for his spring break. We spent the weekend in Paris and then came back to Copenhagen for the rest of the week. It was so so great to see him again (we hadn't seen each other for 9 weeks)! Mike had never been to Europe before this, so it was a lot of fun to get to experience his first trip with him. I had quite the weekend planned for Paris. I literally made a 6-page agenda complete with weather forecasts and metro routes, which is actually a bit scary and says something about my personality... The agenda may have been a bit overkill, but in my defense we didn't have a lot of time and neither of us had ever been to Paris so there was a lot to tackle. Poor Mike only got half an hour of sleep on his long flight over. I was impressed (and very happy) that he powered through and we see everything on my list!

The city was amazing! The architecture, the museums, and of course the croissants were all incredible. We did so much in such a short time that I feel like I am still processing everything that we saw. I am so blessed to have gotten to share such a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Mike. We were both completely exhausted by the end of the weekend and it was nice to go back to the comfort of the Larsen's home in Copenhagen. Oh and for the record, Mike liked Copenhagen a lot more-- take that Paris :) I will admit one downfall of the city was the uncleanliness and the apparent poverty. It made me even more appreciative of my life in Copenhagen. Also, there were tourists everywhere even though it was low-season, which made me realize how much I feel at home in Copenhagen rather than being just another tourist.
