Margot and I survived our first solo travel day…

Now, with the touristy things out of the way (ahem, Mona Lisa), we had to prioritize. This was only magnified by the fact that return trains stopped running to our village at 11:19 PM. SHA-OOT ME NOW. If you missed part 1 of my Parisian preferences, pop…
