More Paris S'il vous Plait!

I can't rank the different trips I have had because each one was at a different time, and gave me a different idea on the world. Paris, France was nothing like I had imagined. Every part was different and a mix between artistic, romantic, classic, strong, and just downright fabulous. I even thought the air smelled better than normal. After a 3 am bus ride and a 9:55 am flight from Sevilla to Paris Kelley, Ann and I finally found our apartment that we rented for the weekend and set out to see the Eiffel Tower. This was the perfect way to start our day. We made sure to stay there until dusk to see the light show that they off every hour. After admiring something I had waited to see my whole life, we took a boat ride down the seine river. The view was beautiful and we saw everything from Notre Dame to the Louvre lit up at night. By the end of this we were exhuasted, went home and slept very well.
Friday was our non-stop day. We woke up went to the Arc de triomphe, down champs elysees, saw the madeline church, a marker of where King Louie and Marie Antoinette were beheaded, special gardens close by, musee de orsay that had many impressionist works, Notre Dame, and ofcourse the Louvre. What a day, I couldn't feel my feet by the end of it. Out of those I really like the musee de Orsay because I got to see some of my favorite impressionist works by Monet, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, and Renoir, and of course Van Gogh! It was so cool to look at their signatures and know that they stood in the same distance from their paintings that I did. Another highlight was Notre Dame because we went to the top of the bell tower. This was our spot to see the whole aerial view of Paris. We also liked to think of the Hunch back of Notre Dame. Some how everywhere we go our thoughts went back to Disney movies we saw as a kid. I know my Auntie Mo would not of liked this because the stairs to get to the top were never ending in twisting tower that we couldn't see the end. But we made it and loved it. Before the Louvre Kelley and I tried crepes on the street made with Nutella. O MY GOSH. Totally necessary to do before you die. Kelley and I were sad when they were done. We made it to the Louvre at 6 for our free student entrance and saw the Venus de Milo and ofcourse the Mona Lisa. Two biggies to check off our list. By this time we were deader than the trip to Paris.
Saturday was more relaxing as we went to Versailles and saw the hall of mirrors where countless balls took place, the wedding of Louie and Marie, and of course the signing of the Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI. I tried to take a picture of myself in the mirror. I mean if mirrors could talk I could be included in history! I know how corny. After this we headed back to Paris to check out the artist's quarter Monmatre. By far this was my favorite part of the trip and Paris. This place had such a great vibe. We saw the Sacre Cour church, Van Gough's house, Paris's last vineyard, and even Moulin Rouge. I did get to try a French quiche!!! The foodie in my was stoked because we cooked all of our own food, so to get some of the culture this was was good. This weekend was so jam packed that I cannot even possibly tell you everything. As a professional traveler I am proud to have done all that in 3 days.
Overall, the people were great. Some were impressed that we spoke Spanish. They also were nicer if we asked if they spoke English before bombarding them with English questions first. All in all Paris is a city that I cannot possibly know all about in 1 visit. I can't wait to go back!
