Day 51-France, Paris

J'adore Paris! It's soo huge, you never run out of things to do or see. Today was a long one, especially since I felt we tried to do and see everything.

Starting with our trip to St. Denis (a beautiful early gothic church with an awesome crypt beneath it), we spent the day walking. We walked to Napoleon's tomb, and then to St. Germain (another early gothic church), and then to the Cluny museum, and finally to the Latin quarter at which point you could tell we were all reaching our breaking point. When 19 girls are dead silent, you've exhausted the system ;)

I complain because I was exhausted (and still am), but it was incredible to see what we did of Paris. So much history in one place! For example, for each building project in an era instead of completely destroying the existing building, they'd build directly over the existing foundation. So under one of the gothic churches, I saw an ancient roman bathhouse that was in tact for the most part. It was so cool...especially in the frigidarium ;)

I loved every bit of walking around the city, but have to say the Latin place we ate for dinner holds a special place in my heart. My food was awesome and the crepe I ate for dessert was every bit as wonderful as I remembered them being...Oh France, how I've missed you. :D Salut!
