Paris is where I decided to let loose and eat all the delicious food those damn pastry shops and cafes provided me! Besides the wonderful food we saw the beautiful Eiffel Tower, I was in awe! I think we spent a good amount of hours just standing there, starstruck like our favorite famous person was giving us their time of day. It was so fun! We did everything I ever wanted to do in Paris: sight see, people watch at cafes, eat nutella and banana crepes every day we were there, pick up dinner from various shops, baguette from the bakery, cheese from the cheese shop, salami from the butchery and a bottle of wine from, well the grocery store because it was cheaper than water and still delicious! Paris was very magical!
So ready for Paris
Our hotel was called Hotel Baby
The architecture I imagined while in Paris
We did laundry for the first time while in Paris and it took us a little while to figure out exactly what each thing meant
The first place we ate in Paris, we were nervous because we were not sure how they would react to us since we didn't speak fluent French, but the experience was actually very pleasant!
The wine was delicious and so much cheaper than water!
The place that started my full on love for crepes!
Mopeds everywhere, in order to survive in Paris you must own a moped!

This was at the Louvre! I was so excited to see the Mona Lisa and as you can see I was not the only one. So instead of taking a photo of the painting I decided to take a picture of the mayhem surrounding the Mona Lisa...this chaos was common at all the 'touristy' places we went to
