I knew that I was going to have to try the snails here sometime and was actually looking forward to it until i got to the resturant. It was a little akward with everyone watching me trying to figure out how to eat them. I didn't know if i should suck out the actual snail or just crack the shell off with the knife or fork. I finally had to ask the waiter and he gratefully told me how but because of his accent I still didn't really follow what he was saying. I just smiled and nodded and then tryed to eat one. The waiter stayed there next to the table making sure I knew what I was doing which didn't make things better. I finally got the hang of eating snails after about three attempts in three different ways. Overall I did terrible but the snails were actually pretty good.
I learned on this trip that France is the 6th laregest economy in the world. The Eiffel Tower is a total of 984 feet tall and towers over the city. I learned that le Toure de France is ended in Paris every year by riding a number of laps in the city. I also learned that the Louve is one of the largest art museums in the world.
