Paris!

Umm.. I dont know where to start...
Paris is Amazing! definitely my type of city ! It's super rich in culture, history, arts, people from all over the world!

April 25th
Strait off the train I met up with lily, we went and dropped of my stuff and then headed strait to the Louvre ..where I lost lily not even 5 mins into our visit, but..some how after my I don't know how long.. visit I found her ! The louvre is a great museum, but as im realizing more and more.. unless you study a piece of art.. or know something about the author .. or something.. its not all that interesting.. to just look at something.. I means.. sure there's always the technique to sit back and admire but...
After the Louvre we went to "le Jardin des Tuiliere" ( beautiful.. giant park), "le champs des Elysees" ( a street filled of expensive fancy stores... ) and then the "Arc de triomphe" the next day we went to "Notre Dame" , "Le palacede Justice" , "le musee Pompidou"(we didnt go inside but its a very cool architecture building ) , "la marais" (aka the villaged, which i absolutely loved) and then we went to see a french movie called "tout qui brille" which.. was.... well..... a french movie ?? lol... every.. predictable.. simple..slow passe.. I think i could of filmed it.. but.. let me stop bashing it..
April 27th I went to Park Monceau ( which is a beautiful little park, I think they were filming an independent movie.. in it.. because I saw a lot people carrying mics and video cameras.. ) spend the morning there and then walked from there to the Eiffel Tower ( which.. how many of you guys been too ??? do you agree.. is just a metal structure.. that has.. no purpose ?? its one of the biggest touristic spot... legit.. I heard more foreign languages.. then french..but.. standing underneath it.. I honestly didn't get what it was all about.. I mean.. maybe.. its a bit negative to look at it.. but.. its just my point of veiw.. oh but dont get me wrong.. it is a very pretty design piece of metal )
Later that day I went to a different friends house in Paris, Andres who lives in Montmatre, Which is the neighborhood where the film Amelie 2001 was filmed! Its also where lots or famous artist ,like picasso, lived back in the day... its a beautiful little neighborhood with "Sacre Coeur" right in the middle of it !
I spend the afternoon of the 28th visiting it! and sitting on the steps of "Sacre Coeur" watching street theater and break dancing! it was all very pleasent!
On the 28th I went to visit the Museum D'orsay, where I saw a gorgeous collection of impressionism, realism etc.. from artist like Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Cezanne and Paul Gauguin. And let me just say.. I really adore Monet! and Impressionism.. I really think its one of my favorite form or art, all the little lines coming together.. all the different colors.. forming a beautiful picture from a far... I kind of think its a perfect symbolism for my life !.. ( well one of my philosophies.. anyways.. ) After the museum I walked around Paris.. and got myself.. perfectly lost.. I didnt get to the train station like I wanted to..but I got to one of the train station officies .. which served me just as well! Tomorow I'm off to Belgium.. yes indeed I am.
At 18h00 I met up with people from Wesleyan! It was great to see some people that finally.. knew me from.. the State.. lol I know It's kind of silly ( to be wishing to be somewhere else.. while im in places like paris, barcelona, rome... ) .. but i can't wait to be home... I miss CT and all of you guys in the QC!

Sorry if this blog is a bit grocery list style.. its just that paris.. is soo full of attraction.. that one could take.. months ( if not years ) visiting.. and ..years talking about.. so I'm keeping it simple! :) Here are some pictures of the places I mention above.. and like always the rest can be found in my photobucket under Eurotrip> Paris
