Bonjour again.
We are finishing our last day in Paris. It is Saturday night and to be honest a bit scary here. We were going to go down to the Moulin Rouge area this evening..but the metro was a bit scary..so I thought it might not be a good idea to go to a place known for pickpocketing and a few blocks away from a redlight district. So..it became a McDonalds and back to the room night..still not that early thought at 9pm. Last night we went and saw the city some by night..and then had a dinner at this small French restaurant. The food was pretty good and I am proud of us for venturing out (although..they did have parts of the menu in English..I will confess). It was this small place..smaller than the room I work in (for those of you reading at the Ridge) and we shared a table with some other people. Old menus..and seemed like pretty authentic food. I stuck with the beef..as did Megan, but Matt ventured out with the lamb. We then of course finished it off with nutella crepes. Yes..I do believe crepes might be my favorite part of France. Today we went and saw the cementary where Jim Morrison is buried..visited briefly with Jim..then headed to the Louvre. Of course we made a bee line for the Mona Lisa and saw a few things..and then spent some time relaxing there in the courtyard. We had a mini-photoshoot actually. Dude..the amazing wedding pictures, bridal sessions, and portrait sessions I would have in Paris! I posed Megan and Matt for a bit..haha and then we walked around a bit. We have gotten in a bad habit of taking these naps in the evenings. Really..we aren't in Spain but we sure have been have ciestas (sp?) Anyways, it is off to Venice tomorrow. A few notes about Paris as we leave though. If I make it back I want to make sure I do two things: 1. Make it back to the Montmartre area, loved it before and didn't go today because of the rain and scariness in the metro and 2. Come when Monet's garden is open and in bloom in giverny. As for the hotel...may I say it was excellent..good location, clean, and excellent price! For real..trip advisor will here from me. As those of you who travel know..the feet are aching..but I am still loving it. Till Italy..
