I love Paris in the Springtime?


May 21, 2007

Paris Trip: May 16-19, 2007

High Points: Riding bikes through the city, Wandering through St. Germain, St. Michel and Monmartre, Yummy Coffees, French Onion Soup, Crepes, Sunny afternoon in the Luxembourg Gardens, Watching Spiderman 3 in English, Stores on the Champs Elysee, Seeing famous art at the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay.

Low Points: Freezing Temps, Constant Rain, Disgusting Hotel in shady area, Overcrowded sights like Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur and Versailles, the very long bus rides to and from both airports.

Odd Points: The sun didn't set until after 10pm, we heard more americans speaking english than we'd heard all year and food and drinks are way more expensive in Paris than in Milan. We also saw men dressed as strawberries, a lot of steller mullets, Santa, in disguise walking through Versailles, and kids giving away free hugs under the Eiffel Tower.
