And been riding around on the Metro, and the Batobus (water taxi)
The most popular stuff we've seen are:
The Louvre, Notre Dame, Gardens of Luxemborg,
Eiffel Tower, Versailles, a ton of popular museums, etc.
Its been fun to see all these.

The Gardens of Luxemburg are so beautiful.
it seems to be the place that everything gathers too after work
or to jog around.

the man asked "if i was breathing. if i needed the paramedics."
nope. just needed a quick nap.

Versailles is just outside of Paris, and not near as big.
There is a very famous castle called
Back then, the town people decided that they were
sick of having a king so they stormed the castle.

Hey Anna...been following your blog. It's fun to read about all the stuff you're doing! Sounds like a blast! I would love it! I took a year long humanities class at BYUI and my teacher was pretty much a genius and told us about all the symbolism and crazy stuff about like all the pictures I've seen on here so it makes me want to go SO BAD! It looks like you're having fun so far though! LUCKY DUCK!
ReplyDeleteThat is actually Marie Antoinette's bed chamber, not the king's.
