Remember that we went to Paris?

Our trip in Photos:

Love the light

The light in this photo reminds me of plimsolls & tanned ankles.

Paris, je t'aime aussi!

Not entirely certain what this building is

Déjeuner

Lunch. Baguettes & panini. Du coca.

Heart you Notre Dame!

View from our Hotel Room

We stayed at the Hotel du Beaune. On the sixth floor of a narrow rickety building overlooking rooftops. The elevator was tiny. Wearing our backpacks (tiny! carry on size!) we were squashed inside. But it was clean and less than 10 minutes walking distance from the Louvre & the Seine.

Cracking Door beaune door decay

Eiffel Tower! Maman by Louise Bourgeois!

I lovelovelove that you can take photos in galleries as long as you don't use flash.

Obelisk, Place de la Concorde

Ave des Champs-Élysées

Arc de Triomphe

Look Up More. Arc de Triomphe.

Arc de Triomphe. Detail.

So. Many. Stairs. 284 of them. No pause.

There were no gaps and there were people behind me alllll of the way.
I almost made it. About 7 before the end I had to stop. Then at the top, my throat tasted like blood. I didn't think it was a good sign but I'm still alive so what do I know?

And the view was worth it.

Looking across to Sacré Couer

Tomorrow, the Louvre!
