I set out today to head to the Centre Georges-Pompidou and Notre Dame. I did not make it to either one because I found other interesting sights along the way. I will head to both of them tomorrow after I do my work. YES, I do have work to do while I am here.

I saw some beautiful and interesting buildings and meandered along for quite a number of hours. The downside is that I forgot my umbrella and it was pouring for a while. I have taken my umbrella everyday except today and guess what??? I really could have used it today…oh well! It was rather fun walking in the rain in Paris! = )

So I am now watching the British Music Awards with French subtitles on TV…love it! Speaking of music…I am really enjoying the French music channels on my TV. I listen to them every morning and night. There is some fun music and I have been downloading it to my iphone when I can figure out the artist.

Bonsoir!

I spent yesterday walking around for about five hours! Trust me, my feet know it! Can you say blisters???? Ouch!!! It was fabulous though…minus the blisters. I can absolutely say that I love Paris just as much as a I did when I was 16. This place just has a magical feel for me! I feel strangely comfortable here….hmmmm!!??

Yesterday I walked the entire length of the Avenue des Champs- Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe which was so exciting for me to do again! It has been a long time. I feel like I need to pinch myself everyday to make sure this is real! : ) I then spent time at the Place de la Concorde seeing the Obelisque. From there I spent quite a bit of time walking around the beautiful Jardin Des Tuileries which is lovely. Then it was on to the Musee Du Louvre which, of course, is just stunning!!! I could have just stood there for the entire evening looking around at the amazing architecture….WOW! From there I walked along the Seine for some time. Tellement belle!!! What a day!!!
