Celebrating 2 Weeks!

Yesterday I celebrated my first two weeks in Paris, hard to believe time is flying by so quickly! The first two weeks were full of getting lost on accident, filling out paper work, finalizing my class schedule, trying to find wifi, filling out paper work, getting lost on purpose, and filling out more paper work. I am very lucky to live right on Metro Line 1 that has direct access to all of the most well known attractions in Paris. In about 20 minutes I can be virtually anywhere!
 Did I mention filling out more paperwork?

La Tour Eiffel 

Notre Dame

I could never tire of this architecture


Crepe & Espresso in Luxembourg Gardens

Clemson colors at Luxembourg Gardens

 Classic Metro stop

Pont des Arts

The technical term for the size of the Louvre is "ginormous"

Sometimes you just have to play tourist

Paris is a city much like Charleston, Savannah, NYC, Boston, etc. in that it is best explored on foot with a paper map. Perhaps my favorite part of exploring the most "touristy" areas was finding different side streets,stores, and art galleries along the way. The more I see, the more I realize how much I have left to see! Au revoir for now, I hope to share more on the art of wandering and/or the public parks in my next post.
