PARIS :)

Oh, how I loved Paris. It's just gorgeous. Two complaints I have- We got to see everything, but didn't get to immerse ourselves in it (which is hardly a complaint). Just means I HAVE to go back! And second, once it's sundown, the city goes to bed. Matt and I could not find much to do at night other than walking around- which of course was perfectly great. It was just shocking (we must of been in the wrong area?).

I loved the Eiffel Tower- it really is huge. We went on a Saturday, in the summer, so of course it was packed. We didn't get to climb up it. But, we kissed under the Eiffel Tower (I know, sooo romantic). Check off the list! Dinner, if you care to eat on top of it, will cost you on average over 70 Euros per plate (even for a plate of grilled veggies). We next-ed that.

We did an awesome walking tour... for free! This very funny, educated college student from London who was living in Paris for the summer took us and about 30 others around Paris's top attractions for 3.5 hours. We heard about the history and interesting facts about everything Parisian. It was great! Though at one point I was much more interested in the MOVIE being filmed right in front of me. It was so cool. They just planted the set in the middle of a crowded square- put up a green screen, the actors in this beautiful red card, a whole crew- amazing. I'm still not sure what it was!!

For dinner we went to Amelie's cafe, right near where Moulin Rouge is. It was amazing. I got this great dinner of olive oil soaked bread, grilled veggies and melted cheese on top- delicioussss! It was a real French place, it was great and so cute. We felt like we were in the movie.

On Sunday we went to the Lourve. It's free the first Sunday of every month and it so happened to be August 1st on the Sunday we went! We got there at 8:15 AM, yup- woke up at 7 AM to go to a museum. Who AM I?! It was so cool though. That museum is incredible, like a mile long and full of history. Saw the Mona Lisa and it was so surreal, I really enjoyed the painting. It's on its own wall, covered with a bullet proof shield and like 4 different bars to keep us at a distance. If you go at any time during the day its packed in there with photos flashing. Mona Lisa is probably the most famous person in the world! Constant paparazzi!! We go there right when the museum opened, so we got pretty close to her and to the Venus statue. :)

Can't wait to go back to Paris!! Merci for reading. xoxo
