Paris

oh Paris.

I am in love with Paris (although if I could have Paris without having to navigate the subway system, I might be plus heruese.)

Yesterday, we went to Montmartre. Montmartre is an area of Paris on a hill--you can see the whole city from there. Sacre Couer Basillica is also there. We wandered around, enjoyed the view, and went to a fabulous Salvador Dali exhibit. I think I enjoyed it more than Dad did, though.

Today, Dad wanted to rest so I ventured out on my own. I found a place that sold good ground coffee online, so I went to that area, which happened to have the Centre Pompidou right near it. The building was huge with all kinds of pipes and such on the outside, very colorful, and it houses a modern art museum, a cinema, and a library. I visited the museum, which had an exhibition called the Big Bang. It was a modern art exhibition arranged by topics (destuction, chaos, sex, war, etc.). It was amazing.

I also bought some coffee and chocolate, which are essentials, of course. :)

Tomorrow, I leave for home (although I don't actually get to go to Wichita Falls--we leave from Dallas to go to Arkansas on Friday to see family). I am sad my wonderful European adventure is coming to end, though I am ready for some rest.
