Paris, France.JPG)
We arrived in Paris around noon today. Once we were all checked into our hotel (which took about an hour…) we immediately hopped on the bus to the Musée Marmottan, where a huge Claude Monet gallery is located. Dr. Loos told us about each painting in some detail and adored each of them, especially the ones in which a lot of green was used. Part of me wanted to stay in the gallery for hours. Another part of me wanted to pint, draw, or write something beautiful. I visited the gift shop and experimented with the Paris subway system on the way back to the hotel. I had “The Dogs of BA” by Mirah stubbornly wedged in my head, so I listened to it for or five times. I was invited to the Eiffel Tour at that time, but I politely refused. Then, the group that actually did go to the Eiffel Tour saw Ben Affleck there (allegedly).

I heard all about that as I took a dinner break at the hotel. However, my friends and I opted to visit the tour that night. I boarded the Metro with Sarah C and B, Allison, Ashley, Denise, and Emily. We barely made it before the elevator closed for the night, but I am so relieved that we did. The view from the top was astounding as the city lights sparkled from below. It was more spectacular than I remembered.
Then, I ran down the stairs as the tour sparkled (every hour, on the hour) and I prayed that I wouldn’t fall down the stairs.
