The main thing on my to do list is to go to the Louvre. The Louvre is the biggest museum in the world, so much history behind the walls. I couldn't believe how HUGE the louver was, miles and miles long! I only got to see a small portion of the museum, but I made sure I saw all of the main art pieces. In the museum I got to see the Mona Lisa....it was sooo small and behind so much protective glass. People have tried to destroy the Mona Lisa before and it also has been stolen a few times. Looking at it I wondered why anyone would try to do such a thing....I could barely get near it, and it angered me how a few people can ruin it for everyone else.
The most moving thing I got to see was Napoleons apartment. It was amazing, every piece, every item was so luxurious! The detail of everything had me in awe.....the bed was amazing too!
After the museum we went to the painting quarter, I got to see some of the painters in action. It was really cool to see how into the paintings they were, they were painting with passion. I learned that the painters had to pay AND get accepted into this special place. These are the painters representing Pairs, and its art. They also make a ton of money off of the tourists!! I got suckered into getting painted by a new age artist. While I was getting painted tons of people stopped to watch.....it was pretty cool! I loved the painting after I saw it....it doesn't look like me exactly by its an art piece inspired by me. I cant wait to frame it when I get home! I also bought a lot of post cards here....so to everyone I promised I would send them one....Its on its way! :)
To end my day in Paris I had a Crepe....OMGOSH! It was sooo freaking good....I had mine with nutella...another new thing im obsessed with. If I would have known how good they would be I would have got a few more haha! Paris was everything I expected it to be and even more.
Can't wait to visit you again Paris, I love you!!
