to paris and back

after spending four days in london, we headed off to paris and spent a crazy three days running around that city. crazy is the only way i can describe our time there sprinkled with little bits of magic that only that city could offer. in three days we crammed in:

  • notre dame
  • shakespeare & company bookstore (probably one of the most magical places of all) 
  • the pompidou
  • the gardens (can't remember the name) 
  • the louvre
  • sitting on the grass watching the sunset behind the eiffel tower (another magical moment) 
  • the cemetery (saw jim morrison's grave and oscar wilde's) 
  • musee d'orsay
  • champs elysee
  • the opera house (no luck finding the phantom) 
  • sacre-coeur (a basilica) 
  • stuffing my face with food. no shame. 
i know there is more that i am leaving out, but you get the picture. i am happy to be back in london where things feel more like home.
