Little dreams always come true

FRANCE | Sunday, 11 May 2014 | Views [227] | Scholarship Entry

These events took place in Paris a year ago.Being a student and having a lack of money,but great desire to have a lot of spicy feelings,I decided to have an unforgettable trip.The target of my trip was to see my dream – The Eiffel Tower.
When we've arrived into Paris our feelings ran high and mood was excellent.The first place we had to visit in our program was the symbol of Paris.All of us were looking forward to see it for a long time and we couldn’t believe in our success.But instead of our expectations we were able to see the tower only for 2 seconds from the window of the bust.That moment I was beside myself with rage!Our guide supposed that there was no need to make any photo,because it would be too trivial.So,I didn’t have any slightest desire to have the other excursions according to our program.I haven’t cried for the moon and it was annoying that I couldn’t reach my easy aim.
Fortunately,I’m a kind of person who never gives up,even at the top of the despair.So I decided to see my dream on my own.At that moment I thought Paris to be not confusing city.It’s a pity that the first sight is always the mistaken one.The weather was great first,but in half an hour it was raining cats and dogs,I was wet to the skin.Despite it I kept approaching to my aim.
In 2 hours wandering the streets I refused point blank to believe that I've lost my way.I asked people for help,but nobody had enough time to have a chat with wet girl under the shower.It was the very moment when I was worrying not about having no photo near the Eiffel tower,but being lost and late for the bus of my group.
It's been a second since I thought it, when I met my saver.He tried to explain the right way in such desperately way that I was fascinated by his charm and didn’t realize any word he had said to me.!When he asked me if I understood the route I lied him and answered yes.The rain was too heavy and I didn’t want to detain him any longer.
So,I started my way to nowhere again.In some minutes I felt somebody’s touching at my shoulder. I couldn’t believe myself: it was my saver. He refused from his plans and decided to help my dream came true.
To cut the long story short we came to the destination! We were so close to the tower that I even touched it!
Then he went on his business and I haven’t seen him any time after saying goodbye that day. First time I was upset, but then I understood that there is nothing to be sore about: I had fantastic time in Paris and never to be forgotten journey!
