The first stop in my trip throughout all of Central Europe started off in Paris. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing the first three days here were. Bekah, Carli, Jenalee andI started it off by climbing 700 stairs to the middle of the Eiffel Tower [you have to take a cable car up the rest of the way!] and then ate at the oldest restaurant in Paris: A La Petite Chaise. We were seated in a room that could have been someone's dining room, and served by men in black bow ties. We completely spoiled ourselves and ordered the most amazing french onion soup, red wine, and the filet mignon with chantal cheese sauce. I've never been so satisfied with a meal ever.
The next day we went to The Lourve. It's a beautiful museum and I got to see the Mona Lisa [which looks like it should just be a painting above a mantel piece] and the Victory at Samothrace [my favorite statue, the Nike] We also saw the Notre Dame and Shakespeare & Co. [which is the cutest little bookstore that writers like Oscar Wilde use to hang out at!] Then brought baguettes, cheese, and wine and sat on the lawn in front of the Eiffel Tower to see it all lit up at night.
The last day we went to the Paris Opera house where they filmed The Phantom of the Opera. It was beautiful, I really wished I could have seen a show there. Then, for the rest of our last day, we did what the Parisians do best: shop!
