Paris!

Ahhhh Paris. Day 4 of our adventure and learning more every day! Being the lazy bones you all know and love we have been sleeping in and getting used over jet lag. We have figured out the RER aka commuter metro so getting to and from Paris isn't so bad (a little harder we learned last night after a few drinks). We have spent our days touring the city and seeing the sites! As Pat said, it's like everything in Paris is important.  So far we can cross off the effiel tower, the Louvre, the canal saint-Martian ( a favorite of mine), Norte dame, Bastille, champs élysées,  arc de triomphe...did I get it all??  I have loved just walking around, seeing everything that is so French to me. Example: cafes with way too many tables squished together, filled with wine glasses, plates, ash trays, etc.  We have been eating a silly amount of bread and cheese and today decided we need to up our pastry intake. You only live once right?
Basically, loving Paris and trying to explore as much as possible. Three more days u til we head to Avignon! Oh, also found my new favorite thing today, Orgina gummys!! Finally, two of the greatest things together at last.
Off to bed, more museums and a market or two tomorrow, followed by dinner with friends of the Love's.
Love you all! Thinking of you as we go about our days : )

  1. so glad you are enjoying paris! we did all the same things you did, just walking around seeing all the sights and taking it all in! The metro is SO easy to figure out, the RER is a little more challenging but you will be able to figure it out--we always just asked! And we ate our weight (literally, we probably ate 150 lbs!) of cheese and bread combined :) SO cheap and so yummy :)
