... of our group decided to investigate while my friend and I set off to find a hiking backpack. On the way to the store, we passed two buildings on our list. We were pretty much over trying to salvage our original Patrimoine plans, and since it was after 6, they were probably closed anyway. Still, at least we had seen them!

I entered Aux Vieux Campeur (translates literally to something along the lines of "The Old Camper") ready to save the day with ...

... water and it felt so wrong!
But yeah not much has happened so far, we are staying at st chrispohers hostel, its pretty nice and most of the poeple are young. our plans for today is to go into the city and see all the touristy stuff, and then go out tonight, and we have to stay out till 5.30am cause the trains dont start back up until then, so planning on a big night ...

... get right up to it and touch it if you wanted to. There is no glass, no ropes and no hoards of people to interrupt your moment. By far, one of the most illustrious was Venus de Milo - without arms, this version of Aphrodite herself leaves you with so many questions. Why was she created? For whom? What possessed the creator? But them I guess this applies to all art. The majesty of the Louvre aside I have enjoyed searching out some of ...

Hoje de manhã fui ao Museu d'Orsay, conhecido pelo seu grande repertório de pintores impressionistas, entre outros movimentos. Havia também uma exposição temporária sobre pinturas feitas com o uso de gizes de ceras(Uau!). De tarde, consegui subir no Arco do Trinfo gra ...

Coming back to Paris felt good...Coming back to Paris felt as though everything was finally getting in its place. I want to say that Paris marked the end of this journey, but really...Paris marks the beginning of another journey! the buck doesn't stop here! This whole ...

... most amazing hot chocolate I have ever had. The Waiter brought them out on silver platters. There was an empty porcelain mug, a piture of hot milk and a piture of molten chocolate. We made our own hot chocolate! It was so cool and so good. Not to mention the presentation was beautiful. When we got the check we realized that thee was nothing that was complimentary so each of us had to pay like 6 euro more then we had planned. Oh well, it was a really ...

... finished the inside we decided to take the tour of the tours but after we found that the line would be 2 hours we moved on quickly to the touristy shops along the river (where we added to our current scarf collection and got our souveniers for Paris) and eventually made our way home... This is where we are now....the Hotel Wilson....so perfect... Ca is upstairs packing (as I have already done so) and soon we will head out to the cafe around the corner ...

... the stairs to the second. The views are stupendous - so much so that my fear of heights barely factored in. Climbing to the second floor was quite a workout - but worth every ache and pain that might pop up tomorrow! Even the gears and pulleys within the tower are pretty! We stayed on the tower for awhile, getting pictures and soaking up the experience. We'll be back tomorrow evening to watch it light up and then go all the way to the top. If I spend all my ...

... parts of our journey. ** Petey Pablo was telling us of a trick that French thieves do where they attract you with colorful string and then tie a knot around your finger so tight that you need it to be cut off- but they wont cut it off unless you pay them!** My first time eating ESCARGO! It was delish! This is where I found a wine I love- it was this pink wine made by the restaurant and as tempted as I was to buy a bottle for 13 euros ...

... s continents over a very nice dinner. Mom absolutely LOVED it. At the end of the dinner, the couple handed us two boat cruise tickets they didn't have time to use and insisted we use them instead. I got their email so I can send pictures of our experience on the boat to them-it was so nice! I love Aussies! After dinner, mom and I headed over to the red-light sex district to catch a glimpse of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica from downhill and then the Moulin Rouge for pics with ...
