    photo challenge in the louvre

    During our 2018 French class trip to France, we had the best tour guide ever. Rania was the sweetest Italian woman with whom I shared my deep love for ice cream and chic sunglasses. Part of what made her so amazing (among countless other things) was that she planned out daily photo challenges for us students.

    These challenges ranged from “best Eiffel Tower pic” to “re-enact pirate activity on the shores of the English Channel”. The winners of each day got a special treat hand-picked by her. My best friend on this trip (Hailey) and I always gave it our best attempt, but only had one winning submission during the entire trip.

    The day when we went to the Louvre, our challenge was to bring artwork to life. We BODIED this challenge, and would stop at nothing to nab this win. Honestly, I don’t really remember much of anything else from the Louvre other than this challenge.

    Enjoy our collection of submissions below, ranging from least to most chaotic.

    Soooo anyways we won by a landslide. Nobody came close to our creativity and willingness to lay on the floor. We won some fancy lilac candies in Honfleur for our efforts. Although, I have 0 recollection of how they tasted or if we even liked them. Upon texting Hailey, she states “I feel like they definitely tasted like air freshener”.
