I've been going non stop the last couple of weeks, and today my body refused to go any farther. Naps seem like such a waste of precious time. But, I finally took one today because I noticed that I was too tired to enjoy things like I wanted. Today was a free day, and tomorrow we will be going all day. So, it really was the perfect time, even though it pained me a little to spend part of my free day that way.But no worries, I didn't sleep the entire day away, just an hour or so. First, this morning I had a scrumptious breakfast of croissants with ham and cheese, hot chocolate, and crepes with this yummy fruit sauce. You have to love a free breakfast! Then, Jen, Myra and I checked out some of the Paris sights and took some street shots. We went to the Arc de Triomphe first.
Next, we d
id some wandering. W
e saw two wedding parties taking pictures on a bridge that looked out over the Eiffel Tower. It was such a perfect place for wedding photos! But I'm sorry family and friends. Paris is cool, but I don't think this is the place where I want my destination wedding. Everyone will have to think of another excuse to come here. Olympics anyone?After my amazing nap we all went in search of a pizza place. This is a mission that we've failed horribly at for the past couple of days. For some reason we are all craving pizza, and while Paris has tons of pizza places, none of them seem to be open when we go past. It's tragic really.
But we found a good restaurant, so it all worked out. Food in Paris is more expensive than London, which is hurting our pocket books a little bit. For example, soda is about 3 euros, so every drop of it has to be savored. While in Paris, scrumptious desserts are also a necessity. We got gelato tonight, and it was amazing. The decision of whether to get a gelato or a crepe, however, is a little like Sophie's choice (just a slight exaggeration - trust me).
