Paris & Barcelona Overview

As most of you probably know, on Thursday the 24th we took off for a week long trip to Paris and Barcelona. The original plan was to travel Thursday night to Paris, spend all day Friday and all day Saturday in Paris and then fly to Barcelona for the remainder of the trip. The reality was train hopping all day Friday and doing the rest as the original plan entailed. All in all it was a fun trip, however at times it was very stressful and full of unexpected expenses.
