Paris? Oui S'il vous plaît!

Well, what can i say. I didn't know what to expect. Some people expressed little excitement at the prospect, while others had claimed to love it. After the weekend, I agree with the later. There were so many things to see and none of them (except maybe the moulin rouge) disappointed my expectations. The Louvre was overwhelming. The history and magnificence of the building alone, let alone the contents of the museum within (eg. ol Mona Lisa), was overwhelming. We walked for seemingly hours in public park lands linking the Louvre to the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph (imagine someone country today building a stupidly enormous monument such as this over many years to commemorate an achievment in a war. It's rreeeaaaallllllly big). The highlight for me was being up on the top of Notre Dame as the sun faded, taking some awesome shots of Paris fading into night! A pretty cool experience.

I see. What you're trying to say is that you enjoyed the bread.
