Paris is beautiful!!!! It's just like the movies, so romantic. We are staying at the cutest little hotel, and we are very close to Notre Dame. When Tracy, Meagan and I arrived here on Sunday, after checking in, we had lunch right accross the street from our hotel at this adorable little cafe "Le Metro". I guess its called that beacause there is a Metro stop right accross the street.
Sunday we were pretty exhuasted though. Our train ride from Madrid was about 14 hours, so we didn't do too much except really explore and get aquainted with the city. We tried to go to the Lourve since its free the first Sunday of every month, but it was 3 when we got there, and the line was sooooo long, that we didn't think we'd even get inside before they closed at 5. So instead we just walked around the city a bit, went into the few shops that stay open on sunday, and bought some crepes from a stand outside the eiffel tower.
Monday though, let me tell you, that was an intense day. We woke up early, grabbed breakfast from McDonalds (i know, how american, but it was on the way, fast, and cheap - and much better than mcdonalds breakfast in the states). Then we went to the Lourve where we of course saw the Mona Lisa (which is really small....i thought it would be a lot bigger...) and other works of art as well. Then we headed off to climb the Eiffel Tower.
I will write about that adventure, then our amazing dinner/walk monday night, and about yesterday (which inlcudes notre dame, visiting a perfume museum, and getting hit on by a cute, funny, french bartender who let meagan and i stay after hours and gave us 3 rounds of free drinks), when i get back to sevilla, but i really should go, because my time is about to expire on the computer, and i need to get back to the hotel to check out. So please, stayed POSTED. (get it...) I know, oh crepe, another pun....
