PARIS WAS INCREDIBLE!
First of all, it was wonderful to see Blake! And I met her friends Jen and Brittany (Spanjer) and I love them too! When I got there on Thurs it was just me Blake and Jen. We went to dinner and I got a pizza that had a sunny side up egg in the middle! SO WEIRD! But delicious! Then we went to Amorino for gelato! YUM! They even shaped my gelato like a rose! So pretty and yummy!
Friday we got up and went to Notre Dame. Jen and I went to the top and pet the gargoyles! Then we headed to the Old Jewish Qtr and walked in a small Sephardic synagogue and got falafel at L’as du Falafel, a restaurant endorsed by Lenny Kravitz so you KNOW it was good! We headed off to the Champs Elysees to shop and eat and see the Arc de Triomphe. We ate at a delicious restaurant! Then b/c Blake felt worse we took her to the doctor off the Champs! SO ODD! But within 30 min she saw the doctor and was walking out of a pharmacy with her meds! I wish America was that efficient! We took a quick pic of the Arc and headed to the Musee d’Orsay. Josh met us there! He looked so French and fabulous! The museum was really cool b/c it was built in what was originally a train station! VERY pretty! Then we went home to wait for Spanjer, and got a crepe on the way. I ordered one w/ “apple compote” thinking it would be sliced warm apples or something and it was applesauce! Haha Still good though. Then the fun really started!
We ate dinner that night at a restaurant called la Refuge de Fondue. Let me tell you, if you are ever in Paris GO EAT THERE! It was HILARIOUS! First of all its fondue (yum) second of all they serve wine in baby bottles!!! It was so wrong to drink alcohol from a baby bottle but it was SO much fun and hilarious! Plus the people sitting next to use were very fun and funny! After we had our fill there, we went to the Moulin Rouge to take that picture, and headed back to the hotel where we got yelled at for having 4 people in a 3 person room. So we had to get another room. OY
Saturday we got up and went straight to the Louvre. Thanks to Josh we knew there was an underground entrance so we walked right in with no wait at all! We went and saw the Venus de Milo and hung out with Mona for a bit (Mona Lisa). Then we headed over to take another pic of the Arc for Spanjer and went up to Sacre Coeur, a church at the highest point in Paris. We sat on the steps in front for a couple of hours listening to a cute Italian play guitar and sing while a psycho lady that must have been on SOMETHING danced like a crazy person! SO FUNNY! Then we went to the artists square and had lunch. Shopped for a bit and went to the big dept store that is the Harrods of Paris for a bit. Then we went back to the hotel to relax before going to the EIFFEL TOWER and having dinner.
The Eiffel Tower was incredible! We went to the top and while we were going up the light show went off. It was like being inside a GIANT disco ball! The view was gorgeous! When we got down we went to dinner at a very French restaurant where they wrote the day’s menu on a chalk board and put it on your table. (The waiter brought us one in English.) I had quail stuffed with foi gras over lentils which was FABULOUS! Then we headed back to take pictures in front of the tower and watch the light show which was nothing less than beautiful. Then we headed home since we had early flights the next day.
I didn't want to leave! I LOVE PARIS!
