"That was the end of the first part of Paris. Paris was never to be the same again although it was always Paris and you changed as it changed...There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. But this is Paris in the early days when we were very poor and very happy" -Hemingway
The Louvre:
Venus de Milo:

Notre Dame:
Dinner at Napolean's. YES, I ordered the escargot and ate all of it...:

At the Eiffel Tour...half-way up! We took the stairs to the second level and watched the sunset:

We treated ourselves to chocolate crepes after that hike:

I can't believe the trip is coming to an end. Only a few more hours left until I get on a plane and come home to all of you. I can't wait to share my experiences and stories with you more intimately though the blog has been helpful in getting a head start.
Currently listening to: Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Lauryn Hill
Au Revoir!
