For the last day, we first went to Musee D’Orsay where we saw impressionist paintings and other French art movements. We strolled along the Seine with sandwiches in hand and walked outside the splendor of the Louvre. We bought souvenirs for our loved ones, drank slushies that melted immediately because of the heat, and went […]
It was a somber morning in the Teen Treks world, knowing that our fellow trekker would be leaving due to a fractured wrist (we miss you Henry). Although we were sad that our friend was leaving, we trekked on. We discovered that the bridge we were supposed to take to cross the Irondequoit channel was closed… […]
We started off the day strong by navigating to the Palace of Versailles. We spent most of the day wandering the most opulent building we had ever seen. The entire building was covered in gold, marble statues, and 30 foot tall oil paintings. We then wandered in to the gardens of Versailles where we lounged […]
