Paris: Au revoir!
July 4th, 2011
The alarm went off at 5am. By 6:30 we were at Joinville-Le-Pont RER for the last time.
We got to Charles De Gaulle in good time, and so we sat for a bit before saying our goodbyes.
From Charles De Gaulle, I went to La Défense, to see the Grande Arche and ended up sitting there for a while utilizing a WiFi hotspot I found. The whole défense area is pretty nice, if you can see it through all the suits. On the train to La Défense, I was the only one in the carriage not suited up, by the end.
After, I headed to porte maillot, to find out the times of the bus and also buy a ticket. The metro stop is a lot bigger than I remember, but last time I was there, it was packed out with frustrated italians.
Once I had my ticket, I went to Musée De L’Armée, which was only €7. It was pretty cool and most importantly, killed a few hours… Oh, and while there, I managed to get myself another bloody nosebleed. Ended up wandering around half the 1900’s with a blood soaked tissue.
Paris, you have not been kind to my nose.
After that, I hung around the carousell de Louvre and used its many free WiFi locations, killing time until I got the bus.

Paris: Mona Lisa’s Smile
July 3rd, 2011
I woke up, happy to see that I wasn’t in a pool of blood, and waited for Emily to finish getting ready before getting ready myself. Once in the bathroom, I looked in the mirror, decided my hair was fine and threw on my clothes.
The plan for today was to go to Notre Dame, the Louvre, get some pictures at the Moulin Rouge and Sacré Coeur, then go to Père Lachaise cemetery before hitting they Eiffel tower.
A packed day, sure…
We got to Notre Dame, and joined the line to go inside. There was a service going on, and I always find it kind of were that they allow people to go arouse taking photos and film when that’s happening. It’s also jarring to see little shops at the side of the church.
We then letter with the aim of joining the queue to go up the towers. The queue stretched the length of the cathedral and eventually, we decided against it.
