Last weekend I visited Paris!  It is a beautiful city, and we got a lot done in the two full days we had to explore.

Photo blog!

It was a beautiful day! Bright blue sky :]

It was just lovely.

I liked these guys.

We then moved on to the Catacombs, which was AWESOME. Seriously killer. No pun intended…

Some interesting architecture inside.

This was the line to get into the Catacombs. Nuts!

We then went to the Jardin de Luxembourg. It got a little bit gloomy outside :[

Statue in the park.

My inner child had to come out at some point!

Finished the day at the Pantheon.

Gorgeous!

Got up bright and early to go to the Louvre!

My favorite exhibit was the Napoleon exhibit. So elegant.

CHAOS at the Mona Lisa. Not worth it.

Totally rode an ostrich on the carousel.

Just wandering in another park.

Checked out Notre Dame.

Went to this cute cafe for lunch. Seriously the best meal. Ever.

FINALLY the Eiffel Tower!

BIGGEST THING OF COTTON CANDY EVERRR! (They call it candy floss here…which is weird.)

Tourists. Duh.

Photoshop at its finest!

Night shot. It sparkles once an hour. I love it.

So that was Paris!  I had a blast. Good times with good people. Always.

I have been working on essays for midterms recently.  Finished my first one, about to start my second.  Have three due total.  Wah. 

I went to the cinema last week!  I think I sound very proper when I call it the cinema, but that is what they call it here.  Saw No Strings Attached.  Loved it.  Ashton Kutcher never disappoints. hah.

I also went to the milk market on Saturday.  They have it every weekend, and it was AWESOME.  So much good stuff.  Almost bought a puppy. ALMOST. But I bought what is the best apple juice I have ever had and probably will ever have.  It is a blueberry apple juice made from the apples and blueberries of Ireland. DELICIOUS!  I also had a cookie and a piece of cake (go ahead, make your fat jokes!).  They had so much CHEESE, too.  Yum yum yum yum yum!

I watched an American football game yesterday.  The guy I’m seeing here is the quarterback, so I went to watch them demolish the other team.  I honestly couldn’t tell you what the score was…it had to have been in the high 50s or 60s to 6.  It’s funny, because they NEVER go for field goals.  They always do two point conversions when they get a touchdown and just either go for it on fourth down or punt.  Weird, right?

Went out with the roommates last night and had a blast.  We went to a place called Hurlers where we’d never been before. It was a pretty chill place…I’d go back. hah.

Time is flying. I can’t believe I leave in two months.  Sadface.

Cheers,
Melanie
