City of Lights pt. 2


Our second day in Paris was spent in part at the Louvre. I actually saw a lot that I missed last time and we poked around in the Africa/Americas/Islands exhibit, where one of the Easter Island heads is kept! Of course, seeing Mona and Aphrodite was good too :)





In the park outside, we had the MOST delicious gelato I've ever had. I got mango and coconut (goooood choices) and they scooped them in the shapes of flowers!



That night, we went to the Eiffel Tower and picnicked below it just to watch it light up every hour on the hour. It was such a good time that we went back our last evening after exploring Sacre Coeur and actually went to the top! Last time I had only seen the 2nd floor, so it was fun to get to the top where they serve champagne and where each major city and its distance is above the view. Did you see me waving home?!









Saying goodbye to Dillon was extremely difficult. He came to the train station to see me off and I cried while saying goodbye and even for a while on the way to Montpellier. I haven't had a meltdown since arriving though, which is a promising sign.
So, I'm finally here! After a round-about two weeks, I'm at my final destination. And let me tell you, il fait tres chaud.

  1. Sounds like you are having an amazing time. And we're all allowed a good cry every once in awhile (and a good meltdown for that matter). I hope you are settling in and having an wonderful time!

  2. Hello Love, I was praying that your goodbyes wouldn't be too heart breaking. Heroes are hard to come by :-) I'm working on your "care package". I made an extra print of Moulin Rouge to go on the frig. I miss your face! Kisses Sweet Girl! Lil' momma.
