Paris, France (part 1)

bonjour! (only word I know in french)
only 2 hrs on a train and...voila! we are in Paris people!
wow, what a crazy feeling to be in one of the most well-known cities in the entire world.
it was surreal standing under the Eiffel tower, seeing the Jewish quarters, seeing graffiti, the baguettes, the french accents, standing by the Louvre, seeing Notre Dame, arch de triomphe...
ALL. IN. ONE. DAY. 

paris, you are one crazy city!
 they dont mess around. mercedes taxis yo
 walked about a thousand stairs..realized how out of shape i am... but it was so worth it for this view!
 emi showing us the sights. 
 THERE SHE IS IN ALL HER GLORY.
 contemporary art museum.
 Jewish quarters. 
 SAD DAY: the famous falafel store was closed for construction the ONE day we were in Paris! shooooot. but we managed to find this colorful mix of vegetables..and fries? haah. 
 the topped it off with ice cream - in the shape of a flower. only in Europe

  4. I had to go back to look for the trolls that x-patt was referring to. The outside of the art museum looked like the inside of some humongous factory. Awesome pics, Joel!
