be tour guides in this capital. They joked with me that the city was new for them too.

There was a blood drive in front of the building. Either way, welcome to city hall!

The evening was finished with a stroll by the Seine. The amount of tourists in Paris is not surprising, but still annoying. We, foreigners, are literally everywhere. Paris's lovely atmosphere this time of year lures many to its brightly lit streets.
A little walk by Notre Dame at night is recommended. It is stunning.
The French people's notorious/stereotypical unfriendliness (that even my friends have noted) so far has not affected me, most likely because I am staying with friends. We shall see tomorrow I suppose.

So many tourists! We are invading! But, it still doesn't deter from this place's allure and brilliance
like so many other locations. What does Paris have that others do not? (Photo credits by PintsizedPioneer) |
Oh no! It is done. I am captivated by Paris. I need to take more pictures! Everything here is gorgeous - the buildings, food, the people (for the most part). This odd old woman snuck behind me on the subway to skip the fee, looking a little worse for wear. It was a strange end to the evening. Besides that, I am excited to see more of Le Marais, the Luxembourg garden, and perhaps even the Eiffel Tower up close and personal, not from a far. Stay tuned!
