Everything in Paris is exactly like you think it is. It's all the positive and none of the negative. Instead of using too many words to try and explain all that Paris is, I've decided to just do a list. And include some pictures. Also, today marks the 126th anniversary of the opening of the Eiffel Tower to the public. These are cell phone pictures btw. Don't judge.
The List:
Eating dinner in a corner cafe
Eating crepes from a stand along the Seine
Lovers bridge
The peeking view of the Eiffel Tower from our 6th floor room
The subway
Music in the subway
looking at all the well dressed people in and on the metro
Starbucks in the rain
Our purple umbrella
the shops
Falfalel
pastries
fresh fruit
scarves everywhere
sparkling lights
loud Americans
quiet Parisians
eating at Chipotle
the willingness of Parisians to speak English
the Eiffel Tower
the Eiffel Tower's light show
10 years together
Champs Elysees
dusk on the top of the Arc de Triomphe
Rue's
The Louvre
Our friendly cab driver
stairs and more stairs
Paris drugstores
fancy stores
walking and more walking
Parallel parking
live music at the Hard Rock Cafe
cobblestone
chilly nights
cloudy skies that turned blue
Moulin Rouge
the expensive dinner our first night
Roundabouts
chocolate shops and soap shops
boulangerie's
my first macaroon (a lemon one)
Notre Dame
hanging out with David in the middle of somewhere we are sure was a big deal but had no idea what it was
L'église de la Madeleine
the top of Montparnasse tower
The drive home
When we arrived home

| Just kidding. It was this one from the night before. The traffic was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Insanity is all it was. |

Remember this commercial from Ellen?
I just saw the real one! I'm watching The Blacklist. And Tom is in Dresden Germany! Why are the commercials for Viagra and other such medicines SO long? It's awkward.
Do you also remember when my van situation happened?
Do you remember how we bought a hooptie? I'm sorry, I can't post a picture of that because I don't have one. I can't even get a stock photo because they only sell this car in Africa I think.
Well it broke down the other night. Actually, it didn't. Beecause it still runs very well, but the tires don't. It's a bearing or something. I don't know how to spell that in reference to cars. Baring? Ha. I don't know.
We were on a date and we went to this delicious restaurant called Liu. Our waitress was super nice and it reminded me of being in America at a Chinese buffet because the English was broken but the service was good and people were friendly, not like Germany at all. Just kidding. Mostly.
I mean, I hate buffets. But I did not hate this place. Yay! In my round about way, I asked what languages she spoke and one of them was not Chinese. But she did speak Vietnamese and English and German! Amazing.
We headed to catch the late movie on post only we didn't make it. We made it to Mantel which ended up being a really convenient place. Because I had to go potty SO bad. I found a gasthaus and was able to do my business there. While we waited outside for our Best. Neighbors. Ever. to rescue us, some older folks stumbled outside laughing and almost tripping and talking to us in German. David and I just laughed along with them and said Ja! here and there. I'm sure they thought we were so dumb for not having anything to say to their what I presume were, hilarious jokes. I like Germans a lot better when they are drunk. Haha. I think that must be why they drink so much beer here.... everyone is much happier! Speaking of beer. David and I both ordered a drink at the restaurant. He got a mango juice and I had a Cola Light. They were both more expensive than the beer. Hahaha! Germany!
So anyway, we have a rental car right now! It's really quite lovely because the prospects are endless when you have a vehicle that runs well! We have had a couple of 4 day weekends where we have been confined to a 1 or 2 hour radius for a few reasons, one being we dont have a car that will make it further. But when you have a car, and some energy, you can go and do anything! So fun.
I'll let you know where we end up. Even if it is just to our living room. Because I am tired. Haha. Car problems right?
