It's a fine line I think between capturing moment and staying in the now in order to really take it all in. I think next time I will purposely leave my camera aside and use my mental camera. Click.
Having said that...Paris was quite enchanting. Yes, a lot of tourists. Yes, VERY expensive (we're talkin 5-7€ for a damn cappucino). I know right?! It's coffee and foam for cryin out loud. Ate a loot of bread and a good handful of Lauderde Macaroons (duh). I think most of us gals have always kinda wanted to see Paris. I cam see now why it's called the city of love. Peoplewere practically making love in parks for cryin out loud. Get a room. But I digress...
Unreal arcitecture and history. Actually stepping foot in Notre Dame and smelling it...I felt like the history was in it's smell. I looked for Mr. Hunchback...he was probably up in his tower.
The louvre was huge. HUGE. (That's what she said) Like I think I want to return so I can finish it. I didn't even get to see everything. I'd bet it'd take someone a good 3 solid Louvre dedicated days to take it all in. We were both a bit sick the whole time...sinus infections which was such a joy. However I know I speak for both of us that we felt/feel incredibly blessed to have seen this amazing city.
Onto the next one...
Happy New Year everyone!
Have a proper brew today...and if it happens to be a cappucino...be greatful it isn't costing you $10.
