So this morning we went on a bike tour with Fat Tire Bike Tours of Paris which I loved. I forgot how much I like to ride a bike and you can see so much more on a bike. We saw all of the major attractions and took alot of cool pictures throughout the city. Fat Tire is actually owned by an Aggiw who went on this Marketing Trip and came up with the idea and now how companies in major cities in Europe and the United States. Our tour guide was really good and told us interesting facts such as Napolean is the third most painted or drawn person in history behind 1) Jesus and 2) Mary which I thought was crazy. It was about three hours long and it was my favorite thing of the day!
After that CJ and I went to the Museum De Orsay which is a museum of contemporary (after 1800s) art. It was alot of impressionism and we saw alot of paintings from Van Gogh and Rembrandt which I really enjoyed. From there, we tried to walk to the Arc de Triomphe, but were unsuccessful. There was like an flower exhibit on the street where the Arc was and they were expecting about 2 million people. We didnt know that beforehand and the street was crazy. We pretty much gave up because it was stressful with all those people sp we just took a picture of it from a little ways and got on the Metro. CJ then wanted to go see Notre Dame, but we realized it was closed since it was a Sunday so we couldnt do that. We did though go to a really cool bookstore called Shakespeare's bookstore. It was FILLED withvall sorts of books and I could have stayed there for hours, but we left after a little while. The Pantheon was close by so we stopped by there and took some pictures.
That evening I just ate at the hotel because they had a 5 euro salad which is the cheapest I have found. Around 8 pm a large group of us went to Mont Parnase which is this really tall black building in Paris. It was built to start a metroplex around it, but after it was built the Parisians said it was ugly so stopped all further building. So its the only tall building around, but the view was gorgeous and I could see the whole city in a 360 view. We again obviously took alot of pictures. On our way back to the Metro we all stopped and got a Nutella Crepe which was amazing :) It is so bad for you, but it tasted so good. It pretty much made my night and so now I am just doing journals and catching up!
