paris en général

Published by bethany at 2:59 PM












paris in general:
on saturday we slept in a bit and then visited the champs de elysee, an area where there are many famous stores with security guards when you enter
. we also went to see the arc de triomphe and the eiffel tower.
on sunday we went to see the notre dame cathedral. we paid a few extra euro to take and insane number of stairs to the top of the cathedral, it was worth the money. we also got to experience an organ recital while we were at notre dame. on sundays they offer a free service to the public to hear the organ play. we perused the church and took photos while we listened to Bach play on the organ, it was delightful. we went to the eiffel tower again on sunday to actually go up the eiffel tower. the line was long, but it was the wait. we could see each and every single light in the entire city. the glorious experience was made especially wonderful because we ended the evening with crepes. one night i got banana nutella crepes, needless to say they were delectable. anyway...paris was wonderful. there is lots more to talk about and explain, but i'll save some stories for when i return to the states.love you all.
p.s. i made it to rome safely.
