Paris je t'aime

On Easter weekend Nicole and I went to Paris. Andrew and Cameron were both on vacation so we couch surfed with two different French people. This was our first day...we just wandered around, and then went to the Louvre.
This was a random cookie store that had the best sweets! Obviously I bought some.
Pretending I'm rich and cool...
A sweet fountain right near the Louvre. The first guy we couch surfed with lived literally one block away from the famous area!!
Nicole and I took many cappuccino breaks, to people watch and pretend we were Parisian.
This is the inside of the Louvre. The modern addition of the pyramid was really cool with the old building in the background.
The Mona Lisa!! The crowd around her was sooo big! And full of rude asian tourists...
I was finally able to get a picture.
Nicole in front of Liberty Leading the People.
Athena!
Obligatory Louvre picture... The entrance to the museum is through the pyramid!
One of the many Art Nouvea Metro entrances in Paris. We learned about them in Art History!
In front of the Arc du' Triomphe.
There was a line to get IN to the Louis Vuitton store! Who would ever wait for that??
We finally made it ti the Eiffel Tower!! It was beautiful, everything I imagined.
An artsy picture...
We had lunch at a cafe right next to the Eiffel Tower.

Easter Sunday in Paris! Just chillin on the steps of the Montmarte...
We couldn't resist the sparkly nail polish at Sephora!!
Us being ridic in front of the Moulin Rouge.
One of our couch surfers took us to an artsy area to go thrift store shopping on Easter. This store had amazing designer stuff, for more money than if you were buying it new!

At Notre Dame on Easter! It was really crowded, but incredibly beautiful. Plus the weather was nice and sunny!
We got crepes and ate them in the park next to Notre Dame. Such a parisian thing to do...
hahaha this picture should be our Christmas card...we were asked sooo many times if we were sisters!

The last picture of Notre Dame. I loved it so much! But maybe that's just because it was a beautiful day... We had SOOO much fun in Paris, and I can't wait to go back!
