Paris (Part 2)



During our trip to Paris, we visited the world famous Louvre Museum.  What an ordeal that was!  It took us literally half an hour to figure out where to buy a 4-day museum pass.  Hint--It is sold exclusively at smoke shop passed the Apple Store in the Louvre Mall. 




Once inside the actually museum we were greeted by one recognizable figure after another.  The museum houses an impressive art collection that would take you weeks to go through the entire collection.  Unfortunately for us, we did not have even 2 days to spare.  So off we went to see as much art as possible before my Art ADD set in. 


The Most popular girl in the Museum...Ms. Mona Lisa herself.  




Venus De Milo




The Louvre was every bit as overwhelming/confusing as we heard.  We spent practically half a day inside.  Partly due to getting lost in the maze of exhibits.  Thank goodness for the cafe to give us some additional fuel to continue seeing the remainder of the museum.



Yay!!! We survived the Louvre ;)

That's how they roll...


France is the home of French Fries, great wines, outdoor Cafés, Fashion, and now the compact car.  During our recent trip to France, we could not help but notice the abundance of compact cars cruising up and down the streets of France.  I am not a car aficionado, but there is some adorable about the compact car that make me *swoon*.  Oh how I love thee, compact car. Being an Asian girl everyone assumes I am horrible driver.  I just take enough for me to handle.  Therefore, this begins my love of all tiny cars.  The smaller the better in my opinion.  

Here are a few photos of cars that I drooled over... 


I did not drool over this... I just found it amusing.
 As tiny as the couch in the living room

C'est Paris

Last month, I had the great pleasure of finally living one of my life long dreams.  As part of our 3rd Anniversary the hubby and I went to Paris for a week and half.  We explored Paris one bite at a time.  Here are some wonderful photos of our journey.

During our stay we rented an apartment on the St Louis en l'ile.  Little did we know it was a gastronomic dream.  Only steps away from our casa, was the famous Berthillon Glacier shop.  Their ice cream is sold in restaurants and shops all over France.  We had the delight of indulging on a few scoops as fuel for all the walking we anticipate.
