Super Update!

So last weekend I got the pleasure of having another visitor come to Paris: my friend Shelagh who's studying in Madrid! I love having visitors cause it gives me an excuse and the motivation to go see tourist things and eat soooooooooooooooo much good food!

Interesting Dancing at the Louvre

Friday Night Out @ the Louvre

Obsessed

A quick visit to Denfert Rouchereau, which was ended quickly after we saw a ginormous line for the catacombs

The View of Paris from the top of the Arc de Triomphe!

Paris!

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Under the Arc)

Monet at Musee De L'Orangerie

The Original Cosi in Paris (might be better than the one in the US if only sandwiches came with chips or they had s'mores, but hey this is france...)

Cosi

On Tuesday night, I got the chance to see one of my favourite bands, Blind Pilot! They played at a small venue called Espace B so we got right up front, plus we got to talk to the band afterwards, it was so much fun!

My friend Amelia and I with the band!

Last Wednesday I had another architecture field trip to Invalides, which I've seen bunches of times being that one of AUP's buildings is basically next door, but it was really cool to finally go inside the two churches and to see Napoleon's tomb. ( I still have yet to visit the Museum of the Army which is also there)

Napoleon's Tomb

The actual flags France took from countries that conquered and beat in wars

These were incredibly amazing to me!!

Then on Friday, I finally got the chance to visit a creperie my friends and I have been joking about visiting ever since we saw it. It's called Princess Crepe and it is exactly as it sounds. And while it started as a joke, it was literally the best crepe I've ever had. There are more options than just "nutella banane" (although I am not dissing nutella banane) but they have options like cheesecake, strawberries, chocolate cake, ice cream, all in a delicious crepe. This is now a must-see with all of my visitors who come to Paris. (parents: PREPARE!) Afterwards, I finally got to see the Mondrian exhibit at Pompidou before it leaves this weekend. It was very crowded, but so worth it!

Every litte girl's dream

Including Mine!

Mondrian Exhibit (note: this is unfortunately not Mondrian, I was too scared to take pictures 'till the end of the exhibit when there no longer were any of his works around)

Another Exhibit in Pompidou

Then on Saturday, my friend Arielle invited me to join her at Salon du Vintage, which was an amazing vintage fair of sorts. There was everything you could imagine there from clothing, to furniture, to jewelry, to gas pumps, basically if it is cool and vintage, it was there.

A Vintage Shopper's Dream Come True

The Marais

Walking home from the Marais at sunset has its benefits

Just another week of exploring the city and trying to take it all in! It's crazy to think that I'm past my half way mark and I have less than two months left here!
