Paris was way different from London. It was more beautiful, architecturally, and the landscaping was incredible. It was almost so different for me though, that I didn't like standing out so much. I had a fantastic time nonetheless. I had several awkward encounters trying to order food, asking for directions, etc. considering my lack of any kind of French language knowledge. It very was fun though. I tried. And I learned some words, more than I started with anyway. The culture was great. Our lack of culture here astounds me. It's just, nothing. There's nothing to define it, at all. The art, music, food, and people were all wonderful.
The first signs of France from the Eurostar we took from London.
It was so surreal seeing the Eiffel Tower. We ate ice cream next to the Seine River. Then had a boat cruise which was just beautiful.
Out of the window in our room. I could see the moon from our window. The weather was perfect and we could sleep with the window open.
Thé avec du lait. Merci. I forgot my jacket here on a chair and a very nice man brought it back to me.
Notre Dame was unbelievable. So so beautiful.
We had lunch at an Edith Piaf memorial-ish café. In which we ordered wine and a cheese plate and I had some delicious spaghetti. The last picture is with our tour guide, Derrick, who made our trip so much better.
The Louvre.
My favorite place in Paris. There were artists with their work sitting everywhere, live music, crepes, and drinks. An amazing evening.
