| Paris |
 |
| First night at Xavier's. He made us pasta and invited a few people over! |
 |
| Cool air and autumn shadows |
 |
| Jardin des Tuileries |
 |
| Nahhh, I already have that same scarf. No really, no, III...Oooohkkkkayyy. |
 |
| Arc de Triomphe. I'm really just name dropping because I never figured out what the significance of this structure was. But I like it! |
 |
| We'll have some bread, please. With cheese. Actually, make that just cheese with cheese. And a side of bread. |
 |
| This is a secret building. No one knows what it is called. And by that I mean...I googled "building in Paris by Jardin des Tuileries with fountains" and couldn't find the answer. |
 |
| The tomb of the unknown soldier. In Performing Culture, we read about a white person will generally assume the buried soldier is white. A Chinese person will assume the soldier is Chinese. And so on and so forth. |
 |
| "Madeline!!! Read it to me and it'll be like we're REALLY in Paris!" |
 |
| Next to the Eiffel Tower. I had been taking photographs. I don't always sit on benches like that. |
 |
| It is SO much prettier at night than it is during the day. In the daytime, it looks very industrial. |
 |
| Yippee! |
 |
| The Louvre. I want that pyramid. |
 |
| I think in that first sentence when I wrote "and a bazillian rules" I probably meant to write something other than rules...because I'm not sure what that means. |
 |
| Just about to visit the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is smaller than you might think. |
 |
| Ceiling in one of Napoleon's Apartments. Probably very affordable. |
 |
| These people had never seen a camera before. Also, there are lots of carousels in Paris. That's not a joke. |
 |
| Crème brûlée sampler at a restaurant called A La Cloche d'Or, which means "The Golden Bell." I broke off this Ohio-shaped piece. It was a momentous occasion. |
 |
| The NotreDame |
 |
| Our new friend James took us to the top of a department store and this was the view! |
 |
| There were crepes on these plates 60 seconds before I took this photo. Chocolate with whipped cream and maple syrup. |
 |
| Pont des Arts. An amazing bridge. |
 |
| Shakespeare and Company |
 |
| A nook where I would have liked to read for days. |
 |
| Reading poetry on La Seine River. |
 |
| Just as beautiful as I'd always imagined. |
 |
| Bonne nuit, Paris. |
