Things I love about Paris:
-How people walk down the street eating baguettes like candy bars
-How at an outdoor table for two, both chairs are next to each other and people sit next to each other not across the table
-How carousels are everywhere and it's okay for adults to ride too :)
-The crepe a day rule and finding a crepe stand close to our hotel
-How the Eiffel Tower can just sneak up on you
-Kelly Crowe's guide to Paris
At the Louvre...
I discovered that I don't really "get" art. I will be purchasing Art History for Dummies when I get home.
I was hoping for a serene museum going experience. No such luck. At the _____ (insert famous work of art here), there were no less than 4,000 people and two school groups also vying for the same experience. My dream of sharing a quiet moment with the Mona Lisa was shattered, but at least I got to say hi.
You know how some things look bigger on TV? The Arc de Triomphe is not one of those things. It's breathtakingly beautiful. And enormous.
