2004.10.08 in Paris
While Le slept off another korean breakfast, I wasn't tired so I worked on this travel log and chatted with some of the korean girls staying in the homestay. They had learned English many years ago in South Korea but if you don't use it, you forget it (just like my French). It was fun trying to interpret what they were trying to ask me to translate into english from their fluent french or korean even.
Had gyros for lunch on our way to the Sacre Coeur. Unfortunately the weather was crappy for a change and so the city views from this high vantage point were underwhelming. We then went to Notre Dame and chilled in cathedral #2 of 2 for today. Since it was Friday, we went to the Louvre afterwards - it's free for students under 26 starting at 18:00 - and we zig-zagged our way to get to the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Thankfully the musuem has signs everywhere indicating where these two popular exhibits are located. Sorry, we're not big on art or museums in general, but I can say we were tired from walking here from Notre Dame and all around looking for these two art pieces. We didn't look at anything else as the Louvre is just massive in scale and content.
Paris is the city of lights and we walked along the Seine afterwards to take some night shots of the Eiffel Tower. It's nicely lit up and for 10 minutes on the hour, the entire tower is buzzing from these bright white flashing lights. We headed back before 22:00 for a late korean dinner and gorged on the (all you can eat) rice and kimchi once again.
