Europe: Paris

Have to admit, I didn't really think that I would enjoy Paris as much as I did. Of course, fun friends helped. No but seriously, Paris is an amazing city that tops my list of places I would visit again. The food was pretty much fantastic, the building and architecture blew my mind, and I would love to go back and spend some quality time in all the art museums. Because, I'm kind of in to that stuff.


eh. with something famous. i guess the view from the top was ok.



in front of the palace of Versailles. pretty much my favorite palace that I've seen so far. everything was spectacular and over the top and amazing, I mean, look at the ceilings that were in like every room. not to mention those gardens....




the louvre! one of the places i actually knew a little bit about before I went to Paris, thank you dan brown. not that it helped because really, I'll confess, we didn't go inside. hey! not enough time. but the pyramids were still amazing. 

So the other place I knew about beforehand, and the one place I actually really wanted to see, was the Catacombs. Unfortunately they were closed. Because apparently on Mondays they are closed. We found this out after circling the block many times asking confused Parisians for directions. So that was a really big bummer. Actually the worst thing that happened on the trip. But even that was so bad because we had a really yummy lunch instead and got to relax from our whirlwind pace. And, oh darn, I guess I'll have to go back and see them one day...
