Paris!

So last weekend I spent a glorious 3 days in PARIS! Emily and I flew out early, early, did I mention early, friday morning and  arrive in Paris at around 10:30.  Of course we didn't actually leave the airport till about 12:00, then navigating a new subway system took a bit longer than expected.  But by 3:00pm we were out and about! We started off at Rue Mouffedarte, which I read had a great open air market and had tons of little cafes and creperies! Although we didn't find the market we found a patisserie and that was all that mattered. Emily got the biggest slice of Coconut Flan I have ever seen and I got a delicious chocolate tart! Then we headed off to the Pantheon and the Luxembourg Gardens.  Oh I forgot to mention...the weather was AMAZING! 50 degrees and sunny all day!!! The entire time we were there!! Anyway back to the adventures! So then we went to Notre Dame.  We were able to get inside during Mass and there was a boys choir singing and incense burning, it was magical.  After that we went to the Louvre and saw my girl Mona and the Venus De Milo! We spent two and half hours in there! I can't believe it. To cap off the night we went to see the eiffel tower all lit up.  The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel then went off to see the eiffel tower during the day, glorious.  We then decided to rent bikes and bike past LEs Invalides (where Napoleon is buried) towards the Champ E'lysee or however it is spelt. We rode up that towards the Arc de Triumph, it was triumphant!  We dropped the bikes off and headed over to Printemps, the department store of all department stores, and had lunch.  Then we went to Sacre Couer and Montemarte.  To finish the night we met some other girls in our program for dinner at this crazy little fondue place! They give you wine in baby bottles!!! Before heading back to London the next morning we stopped for Crepes, yum!
