Paris, je t'aime

Mon obsession avec Paris continues avec jour deux!

Due to jet lag (Paris is 6 hours ahead) we slept in late! It is tres depressing to wake up at noon in Paris and realize that you have wasted hours of being in Paris asleep! It is trop mal that you have to sleep at all when you are here! It is such a waste of time to be asleep when you could be walking les rues!

Mais, we made the most of our afternoon by going to la tour, et nous avons mange un petit dejeuner des crepes! Dad actually got un gauffre chantilly that was delicieux! But right now I am addicted to crepe mixte (jambon et fromage). Mmmm. Eating crepes, at la tour, realizing this is my life now.... I wanted to dance around. I have to continually remind myself that I am staying here, and then I get this enormous grin and feel like shouting...."Paris! Je t'aime!" I really do aime it beaucoup!

We spent a lot of the day on les iles! Ile de la cite, where we went to Notre Dame et Saint Chappelle (which is better) and then had lunch at a cute little cafe overlooking le pont! I had ice cream for lunch! Noix de coco et caramel! La glace de Berthillion, the famous french ice cream! Je compris pourqoui a cause de c'etait delicieux! Also had a few of moms frites because they were magnifique! We walked by a lot of places that reminded me of my adventures with mon amie parisienne, Tre! It made me triste because I would love to promenne les rue avec Tre encore! But she has chosen having a baby over visiting Paris. Only time will tell if that decision was bon. I am kidding of course. Mostly.

We then walked along the Seine until we came upon les bateux mouches! We got on just in time for all lights of the city to go on, and it was la plus belle boat ride down the Seine ever! Just as we took off, the tour was sparkling! And just as we came back, it was sparking encore! We got to see 2 sparkles! And the city just looks absolutely beautiful lit up at night. Along the Seine, everyone is having baguette, cheese, and wine picnics and dancing! I was definitely meant to live here!
After les bateaux mouches we went to un cafe that was right by la tour for vin et croque monsieurs and got to see it sparkle again! That made 3 sparkles in un jour! Quelle chance! We walked back to l'hotel on la rue de montaigne and looked in the windows of all the masters. Chanel, Chloe, Dior. Mes favoris! What a magnifique fin to a magnifique jour!
