Mon Amour est arrive!

Aujord-hui - mon amour est arrive a Paris!

I velibed home from class as quickly I could possibly Velib, and ran down my rue to find mon amour sitting in the cafe across from my building! You can only imagine how magnifique it was!

We set out on an adventure tout a suite, and decided to walk over to ile de la cite to get a late lunch. We couldn't pass Notre Dame on the way without stopping in to look around, but then continued on to a little boulangerie where we got a peice of quiche and a demi baguette pizza with crudite. I must also note that Josh pruchased a jus d'orange. I have always found it oddly charming that Josh always drinks orange juice at the most peculiar times and with the oddest food choices. Anyways....the manging of these delicious items took place 3 minutes later on the bank of the Seine. Have I mentioned yet that it was absolutely beautiful today? Sun shining, wind blowing, completely parfait! After our lunch, Josh needed second lunch/lunch dessert - so he got a nutella crepe of course! We decided to start walking to Montmarte, which is both our favorite area of Paris. From the ile de la cite, it is quite a walk, but we love adventures so it was more an amusing walk than a hike. We stopped several times to look at beautiful things and say how much we love Paris.

When we finally arrived at la butte de Montmarte, it was sunset and the sky was this beautiful mix of bright pink and blue! Sacre Couer, the beautiful, white, giant that it is was gleaming at the top of the hill, people were drinking wine on the hill, the adorable merri-go-round was spinning, and then we saw the eiffel tower in the distance - SPARKLING! There simply are not words....

We walked up to the top and around the square with the artists until we found a cute petit restuarant where we had such good food, wine, and scenery. We absolutely love Montmarte. Josh's favorite thing about Montmarte: " the setting and the company"
My favorite thing about Montmarte: "the tiny, cobblestone rues of cuteness"

It was such a perfect first day in Paris together! It is so wonderful to have your amour in Paris with you because everyone else does, and when yours is missing, it is very dommage! Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland Paris! Where rumor has it, there is a fete de High School Musical! Oh la la!

  1. That's a nice thing to hear. I'm leaving this link so that you would always remember how to type letter with accents:
