AAAAHHH Paris..the City of Lights and Romance.........guess what friends.........it is really all that and more.....What an incredible city....I have been lucky enough to travel to a lot of cities......and Paris is by far my absolute favorite....
The city is so clean......so pretty...the famous sites....the narrow streets dotted with cute boutiques and cafes, the flower shops...the pastries and chocolates.....the architecture....everything is perfect in Paris.....
The people were lovely as well........I know that probably shocks a lot of you...but the Parisians were helpful, polite and pleasant to us. The only grouch we encountered was the "concierge" at the public restroom at the Luxembourg Gardens.....we will let him slide...I would be nasty as well if I worked in a public toilet all day.
The food was delicious...especially the breakfast....each morning we woke up to fresh squeezed orange juice and the most delectable croissants you can imagine...crispy, yet light and fluffy....was it wrong that I ate 3 each morning in the matter of 2 mintues?????
Another noteworthy food mention.....the "hot chocolate".....The beautiful tea salon called Angelina is known for the best hot chocolate in the city........the hot chocolate in Paris is very chocolaty and extremely thick...almost syrup like..
The metro system in Paris is wonderful as well....clean, seemed safe, maps all over the underground.....the only issue for me was....my return ticket didn't work....so I had to do the limbo under the gate to get out.
Also, a necessity but very unnerving were the soldiers walking all over the area of the Eiffel Tower wth machine guns and their fingers on the trigger.......
Notre Dame...the Lourve.....Rue St. Honore...everything in Paris is like a dream.
