WARNING: IMAGE-HEAVY.
So, I went mid September, just before college at the U started. I realized I never posted up photos!
Paris was absolutely wonderful.
One of the best experiences I have had. I really needed this. I’m so glad that I decided to visit.
I had the BEST wine/champagne/pomegranate drink ever. I am craving some more of that right now haha!

RUGBYWORLDCUP
& then brandon thought i was drunk off my ass -- i might have been a bit tipsy, but not DRUNK -- because of this damned keyboard... it took me forever to figure it out. and i couldn't figure out how to log on to myspace for about an hour because i didn't know how to get "@" i htink. that or the period. i'm not sure. something having to do with my email. hahhaa. not the best moment for me...
rugby ad.
notre dame
EIFFEL TOWER -- AMAZING VIEW! it was way too cold though. & you had to buy a ticket for each level. but we had dinner at a vair vair expensive restaurant and it was SOOOO GOOOOD :] and then i got to drink more wine. but then they had a specialty drink for the night and it was a mix of wine, champagne, and pomegranate -- BEST THING EVERRRRR.
ARC de TRIOMPHE -- moreso underground BEFORE the arc.
PARIS OPERA HOUSE -- haha there was an African-French guy that kept trying to say "you are very pretty" in Korean, but I couldn't understand him because his accent was so botched up. Haha. He was like, "you don't know korean?" and then i was like "OH!!!! thankyou haha" but he was nice.
ESPLANADE/ HOTEL INVALIDES -- haha we went to a hospital that was labeled HOTEL ______ but my mother didn't know that they use Hotel for like very large buildings, so she went in there and they were like "crazy americans..." or actually, probably Asians... crazy asians... haha "this is a hospital! not hotel! no hotel!" haha.
the more ARTSY DISTRICT -- my favourite part. well actually everything was my favourite part, but the shops here were lovely.
