Alex's visit was wonderful. We spend time wandering around Copenhagen, checking out the view in the Round Tower, and walking around the hojskole. I showed Alex around DIS, and we had lunch with my friend Kara at this buffet place called Riz Raz. And then, we went to Paris for the weekend! It was the trip of a lifetime. Wednesday we spent most of the day traveling, got dinner late when we got into Paris, and hit the sack early to get up for a busy day! Our first stop was Notre Dame! It was beautiful. We didn't wait in the ridiculous line to go to the top, but we got our view somewhere else :)
After Notre Dame, we walked along the Seine and wandered around the more touristy part of the city.
We sat in the courtyard of the Louvre to cool down--we had such nice weather, but it was a little sunnier than we were both used to!
I wanted to check out the Tuileries, the garden of the Louvre that's in a lot of famous paintings.
For the rest of the afternoon we wandered around less touristy parts of the city, like Avenue George V. We found some good bakeries and a cool outdoor market street, where we got bread, strawberries, avacado, and some really good brie. We brought our stash to the Eiffel Tower and had a picnic! This was our view:
Later in the night, we walked over to the Louvre. We missed the light show that my friend said would be there, but we got to see the city lit up at night!
Paris really is the City of Light. It was really beautiful!
