bonjour, mon amie. pt deux.

well helloooo we are in Paris!!!
neither of us expected to actually like it here, but we really do! its really pretty, and although it is very cold today,  we had lovely weather yesterday! we went on a walking tour yesterday, and that pretty much took us everywhere.
in paris there is one massive skyscraper, and you can go up to the top of it (for a price, of course) and see all of paris. we decided to do that, because then we'd actually get the eiffel tower in our view, and not be in the eiffel tower. so we went up and got this lovely view of this massively sprawling city. after the skyscraper was built, they made a law that no buildings could be bigger than it, because they hated it so much. so you just see this city that sprawls out forever, and then the eiffel tower!  it was a really cool view. all of their blocks are triangles...and you really notice it from up above.
once we got down, the sun was starting to set. so we walked to the eiffel tower. it was so pretty at night! once it gets dark, every half an hour or so they do a light show! so its lit up at night all over, then suddenly BOOM it goes crazy wth lights! so pretty!
i didnt expect to be blown away by it, but i really really was.
we went up to the Montmartre district today...and...I SAW MOULIN ROUGEEEE!!!!!!!! not the show, but the building where the show is....the cheapest tickets to the show were 80€...roughly $110...and we dont have that...but it wasstill cool.
the Montmartre district is the artsy district. van gogh, picasso, and i believe monet all lived there. Amelie was filmed there mostly. and its your typical 'Paris' area. very lovely :)
you should be jealous. i am jealous of myself.
