Paris

After much badgering from my sister I finally got a blog to post pictures and news to while I am off in the world.  I can't believe I have already been in France for almost a month.

There is so much about Paris that I love, I don't think I have enough time to catch up on all the places worth seeing and things worth doing here.  I think some of my favorite were (in rough chronological order):

- First night walk along the seine; discovery of Pont des Arts; the view of Paris from the top of the Grande Roux

- Vespers and evening mass at Notre Dame

- Musée Delacroix

- The American street musician playing the Carter Family and Johnny Cash

- Museum de Cluny (The Middle Ages): "La Dame et le Licorne" Tapestries

- "La Soeur du Grec" at the Théâtre du Temple (Free Tickets! from Kiosque des Jeunes)

- Dinner at Le Pré Verre with Madame

- Dinner at Restaurant Jadis (Où est le pigeon?)

- The Latin Corner "Sexy Bar for a Crazy Night"

- Heather's birthday lunch at Le Bouquiniste and indoor dessert picnic afterwards 

- Outdoor concert and film festival in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont

- Rummaging at the Marché aux Puces

- Picnic on the banks of the Seine

- Mont Martre and Sacré Coeur 

- My "roommate-date" dinner with Kiley at Brasserie de la Poste followed by the view of the Eiffel Tower from across the Seine at Palais de Chaillot (m: Trocadéro)
