The Plaza de Cibeles
We took an over night train to Paris to arrive on the first of the month. Unfortunately all of second class was taken, so we were forced into first, and let me tell you--we traveled in style. Well, sort of.
Our first day in Paris, we went to the Centre Pompidou to see the Louise Bourgeois exhibition, which was excellent to see. After that, we got lunch at a sidewalk cafe and tried out the famous Nutella crepes! We decided to walk to the Notre Dame Cathedral and from there we walked to the Eiffel Tower (little did we realize it was an hour and a half walk) and we got there by sunset, where we sat in the grass and watched the lights turn on on the tower as the sun went down.

Yesterday, we walked through Montmartre and visited the Sacre Coeur church, one of my (Kelley's) personal favorites. We also did a bit of shopping, which is definitely to be expected in Paris! Lastly, today we are headed to the Musee d'Orsay as well as the Arc de Triomphe and les Champs Elysees, the famous street which runs around it.

Tonight we catch the train to Milan--another over night train ride, but this time back to second class!
