Like 98% of bloggers in existence (the other 2% get paid), I have to post the typical "I'm sorry for not blogging for a while" entry. I'm not going to even lie and say I was really busy (I wasn't). But, I am still sorry.
So here are some things that happened during my absence:
-I went to the top of L'Arc de Triomphe at night (for free!!!!) and it was incredibly beautiful. I'm sure it would have been a great sight during the day, but everything was quite perfect.
-I went to Disneyland Paris! I have to say, I'm thoroughly convinced Disneyland is the coolest thing ever. I hadn't been to Disneyland since I went to the original when I was five, so I was overwhelmed by everything like it was the first time. Plus,. everything was outfitted with Christmas decorations, and I absolutely love Christmas (especially when you hear songs from "The Muppet Christmas Carol.")
-I went to the Galeries Lafayette. No, I didn't buy anything, but it was another spectacle. I tried on some Euro fashion with mixed reviews. Random non-nonsensical English applied to advertising was everywhere, including my favorite "Noel Chaud Show."
-I went to the American Cathedral. It was on a Tuesday afternoon, unfortunately (I had actually found it looking for a bank) so I couldn't go inside, but I took some lovely pictures. They have Thanksgiving there, so I'm looking into that.
-That's pretty much all I can recall.
I'll do my best to post things more often. I just have to get back into the swing of things. Here are some items to expect from the near(ish) future:
-The Louvre
-Musée D'Orsay
-The top of the Eiffel Tower
-Trip to England
I'm really excited about that last one! I'll be sure to bring my camera.
Well, that's all from France. Pictures below.
