The Louvre
=overwhelming, hungry, feet hurt, beautiful
Dinner
=At least we got Creme Brulee
The afternoon was all a blur, until a shot of espresso and a nutella crepe at a food stand near the Louvre.
Saturday night, we went to what's supposed to be one of Paris's hippest clubs: Duplex.
20 euro cover, with 11 euro martinis, and a club full of french versions of jersey shore boys, a few hotties, but way too many polo shirts. Why is Abercrombie and Fitch so popular here? It was an interesting night. The Paris metro doesn't open back up until 5:30 a.m., and my friends stephen and seline, and I found ourselves the last one's to leave, trying to find a taxi we couldn't pay for, back to the hotel we didn't know how to get to. The whole while in the taxi we made plans to stay up all night at some 24 hour cafe and get burgers and espresso with the money none of us had.
Sunday we went to the Montparnasse Cemetery, and I ate a huge French hot dog-delicious and terrible. Then it was a day full of metro adventures. Off to Notre Dame, then Shakespeare and Company bookstore, and a boat ride down the Seine river, and some eiffel tower sightseeing.
I'm hoping to go back in the Spring and see Sacre Coeur, Luxembourg Gardens, and the Catacombs Museum, and then Versailles, and Monet's Gardens.
