I love Paris! I love the light atmosphere, love the food, and even love the metro (Note: when you can love public transportation, you can love pretty much anything).
Today we visited the beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame and an 18th century high-end middle class mansion where we saw the original owners' impressive art collection. I enjoyed some beautiful pieces by artists like Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Boucher, and Frans Halls. I couldn't believe how extravagant it was...
After the mansion, I went to Rue Mouffetard (one of the oldest streets in Paris) again and enjoyed the lively, French atmosphere. Also, I bought some delicious fruit :) After some time, I decided to head back home (it takes about an hour and a half) and ended up spending part of my evening watching Wipeout and Spiderman dubbed over in French. It was pretty entertaining :)
Before I finish, I have to mention how many times I've been asked (or not asked) to be in another tourist's picture. It happens to a lot of us, (apparently American girls in France is of interest) but today's experience was the most random yet. While we were waiting for the bus in front of our hotel, an Indian woman asked to take a picture with a small group of us. It was too funny! We weren't even by any particular monument or anything. Oh well. Another day come and gone in Paris! Au Revoir!
You should write a book ;O I'd read it!
