Voila!

It seems like my anxiety to finally get back on the road has finally paid off. My weekend venture to Paris could not have been better planned. It has been a while since things have gone 100% right and it feels good to say that I did everything I had ever hoped to do in a city as beautiful as Paris.
The first night there, a couple of friends and I wound up on the streets of the infamous "Sex District", and let me say, I have never in my life felt so inclined to jump into a car with a pretty good looking French dude and hit it up...NOT! Sweat baby Jesus, was it ridiculous! The second us girls found out where our current location was, we did not think twice about making the biggest escape of our lives. We took the first cab we could find back to the hotel...but let me tell ya, it was the funniest shit ever. A friend of mine, in her not so normal state of mind, started a friendly talk with the cab driver, whom I am pretty sure loathed us for being the "typical, obnoxious, American" girls French can't seem to get enough of. The only thing I seem to remember getting out of him was the word: Queen. Queen, the hot spot and apparent place to be in Paris, was on the check list soon after we were dropped back off at the hotel. The next day...or better yet, a couple of hours later, I got up early to head off the the Museo del Louvre and see the Mona Lisa.
And what a piece it was! Smaller than I expected but FILLED with history...well, everything in that museum is filled with history...but still, it was breath taking. I got complemented for my green nail polish, walked through The Louis Vuitton and window shopped, did some actual shopping (despite my hatred towards the action...but HEY! When in Paris...) had some of the best crepes/coffee/croissant of my life, ate pizza after 5 months of pizza heaven in Italy, saw the phenomenal view of the city by night on top of the Eiffel Tour, was inspired to sketch Notre Dame, practiced my awesome photography skills( or at least I tried...) blah, blah, blah...wound up at Queens to dance the night away. En Fin...fueron unos dias inolvidables.
