J'adore Paris!

God I love Paris! It was exactly as I remember, although I must say infinitely more romantic with a partner! I'm pleased to report that Mike enjoyed Paris almost as much as I did! We did all the usual things, notre dame, la tour eiffel, arc de trimophe, le louvre, d'orssay. But a few less usual things as well.

My personal highlight was the Musee De l'orangerie. It is a space sourced by Monet, specifically to exhibit his waterlillies. I literally had tears in my eyes when I walked into the first gallery. Its all natural light deflected through a skylight and the waterlillies look amazing. We also climbed up the towers of notre damen (significantly less stairs than those I've had to climb to my flat during various floods!) which I'd never done and I was finally able to pay my respects to the Lizzard King, which was memorable!

We induldged in some other truely french experiences, aside from making out all over town, which included wine and cheese along the banks of the seine as well as at the base of la tour eiffel. We also watched some fabulous buskers in the square in front of notre dame fire twirling one night...it was like magic. And oh did we eat! I love eating in Paris almost as much as I love Paris itself =)

Regrettably I don't have the words to explain my deep profound love of this city, but I'm eternally gratefuly I was able to share it with Mike =)
