paris was amazing!!! so beautiful, has to be one of my top 2 cities i have been to. it took us a while to get there, our flight was delayed then the airport we were flying into was closed since it was so late, so we landed in the big one, had to get a bus then it would have been an expensive taxi ride so my friend and i just wound up staying in the same hostel as our other friends we went with.
the first day couldnt have been better. it was gorgous and sunny and warm and we started at the louve which was incredible and lots of fun! we stayed there till about noon where we got sandwhiches and went on a walking tour. it was sooo interesting, we learned so many good stories and saw a lot. we even saw the light post where big told carrie he loved her when he went to find her in paris (sex and the city) and where a scene from the bourne identity was filmed! we also saw the cafe where the french revolution began and the operah house where the phatnom of the operah is based off of and everything else including notre dame, etc. there is a statue of luis IV on this bridge where he decided to have a party. they mixed alcohol and went crazy and so he had his artist friends draw all his friends having fun, since he loved them so much he then had some designer guy sculpt the heads of his friends making all the funny faces they did when drunk onto the bridge, there are like 300 of his friends heads on a bridge, its great!
that night we got 6 euro tickets to see a beautifu ballet in the operah house and had a good dinner near moulin rouge (tho we never went there or saw it). we also saw the sacred heart cathedral- perhaps like the hospital in scrubs?
the next morning we went up the effiel tower which had an amazing view and the arc de triumph! we also went to this other museum which had a lot of monet and van gogh and many many other famous artists. we spent a long time there and after that we got an early dinner and then later that night did a boat tour on the sien river.
we also got crepes several times, but never made it to the jewish area or moulin rouge :-( suppose thats why im gunna go back!
it was so much fun to see sasha and get to see paris. it got really cold the second day and nights were freezng, but the first day was great! couldnt have asked for a better day.
now that im wiped out of money- paris is veryyyyy expensive, i am sad to say im leaving in 16 days! i cant believe it, time flew by sooo fast. this weekend i do almafi coast and get another chance to cliff jump, this time there better be no rip tides!
sorry not much detail, i have some big papers to write, including this huge art paper....def not looing forward to it!
