Paris

Paris. The capital of love. Ville de lumiere. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. 

                                     And I had 96 hours to discover it all.

 Fresh off the train, I trecked to the nearest Starbucks and did a bit of shopping. Then gradually made my way to Sacré Coeur. As soon as you enter Montmartre there are people waiting to snag you in a deal and get you to pay some outrageous price for generic Paris memorabilia. I loved it. 

 After ditching my backpack, I found my way to Montparnasse Tower and was blessed with a gorgeous view of the city!

You can't send a dancer to Paris and not expect a dance picture. Impossible.

By mid-afternoon on day two I had given all of my money to the stores on the Champs-élysées. Come on, people. That street housed the LARGEST SEPHORA IN THE WORLD. What was I supposed to do? Not spend money??

 Day 3 was made for walking. I had met up with a few people from the hostel and we walked. all. day. long. We zig zagged our way from Pompidou to the Eiffel Tower- thats about 10 miles. I definitely didn't have to worry about my calorie count for that day.

 Ah! A monument that needs no introduction! After our 12 hour hike, it was so nice to sit in front of the Eiffel Tower and just sit. We watched the other tourists for a awhile and gazed at our finish line.

 Wrapping up my Parisian pas de deux was the view from the top of the Effiel Tower. There is really nothing I can say except "wow".

                                                     96 hours well spent.
