Paris, the City where romancers go to romance

It may be a lame title but I am running out of ideas.

Paris was a ton of fun. We stayed in a bad hostel but the city is really nice and the weather was good, for the most part. First day we went to the Eiffel Tower and glided straight to the top. It was blue skys so we had a great view. We spent a lot of time up there and we were able to really orient ourselves to the city with a map and the view.

Then we walked around for a really long time, just exploring the city. We made our way to the Notre Dame, where quazie moto spent the majority of his cartoon life, swinging from gargoyal to spire, always watching his clock. We climed up it and had some awesome photo shots where I had a hunchback and I was making my way out of the bell tower. Too cool for words (I guess you´ll never get it since we can´t find the picture).

We then took pictures from the top of Notre Dame. We had a really good view of Paris during the sunset with the clouds in the background.

The next few days we met with a friend named Nicolas. We met him in Jerusalem and have kept in contact since then. He showed us around the city through all the back roads that we wouldn´t have seen other wise. He also told us a l0t about the people in Paris. They all seem to be very politically charged. There were numerous protests and marches the entire time we were there.

We saw models getting there picture taken at an outdoor photo shoot and we saw a musician making a music video in front of Notre Dame. The city always has something going on.

We also went to the Louvre one night. We didn´t give ourselves that much time there because we didn´t think that we would want to be there all that long. We had just gone through Italy, coming from Athens and Jerusalem. If anyone has done that before they would know that, at this point, we have seen the oldest, tallest, biggest, most important, most photographed, smallest, hardest to build, most significant whatever you can think of and we didn´t think we would be that inpressed with the Louvre. But we were. It is definatly something to see if you are ever in that area. I haven´t been to the British museum or the Museum in Berlin, which I have heared are really nice as well, so if you like museums, definatly see those three.

But back to the Louvre. They had so many artifacts from all over the world, from every time period. I really liked the Mesopotamian artifacts because they were the most foreign to me. We saw the Mona Lisa of course but that was a little let down. It is small, and you really can´t see it from where they allow you to look. It is better to look at it in a book.

We spent about 3 hours there but the last 45 min were spent running to make sure we didn´t miss anything before being kicked out at closing. When we go back to Paris, I will visit it again and spend more time there.

Most all our pictures from Paris have mysteriously disappeared and we really don´t know what happened. All we have is of the Eiffel tower which was only the first couple hours of our 4 days.

So happy to be here!
