europe: day 7

DECEMBER 31, 2007
PARIS


the last day of 2007 in the city of romance. i couldn't have asked for more.
i will limit the text today and let the visuals speak for themselves. happy reading :)

a different feel of the arc de triomphe in the morning


cartier on champs elysees


need i introduce?



view from the 2nd floor (115 m)
see all the tour buses?


my sis is a pro at self-shots


le louvre museum


venus de milo - goddess of love and beauty


museum guide, antoine, explaining leonardo da vinci's the virgin and child with st. anne (painted before mona lisa)


we saw it! the crowd was insane...



one of the many galleries inside the louvre


more royal collections from the 17th-18th centuries


inside the glass pyramid


cathedral of notre dame



i heart paris


new years eve feast


menu: can't-get-any-fresher seafood


*all the best in 2008, from our family to yours*


one and a half day in paris was definitely not enough. we probably spent about 5 hours total waiting in all the crazy lines to get into museums and to the top of the eiffel tower. i had hoped to spend more time appreciating the famous artwork but it was just impossible with all the visitors and the time constraint. i also wished we were able to join the new years eve countdown on the champs elysees, but that didn't happen either. bummer...

nevertheless...

I LOVE PARIS!

it's such a wonderful city with style and passion. there's no doubt i will revisit again... hopefully soon!
