We had a fabulous first day in Paris! We started our morning in Vosges Square. It is dubbed the best planned square in France and it is home to the first useable balcony. Of course I loved it! After the square, we wandered around the area for a while and popped into lots of adorable shops. Everything seems so Parisian! Valerie picked up another pair of shoes, but I am still looking for a perfect souvenir. Exhauted from all of our shopping, we grabbed a quick bite at a delicious falafel stand on "rue de falafel." We deemed it as good as or better than Israel.
We spent the afternoon at the Pompidou. A lot of it was really abstract and we had to do the end of the museum Pollock-Shuping style, but it was a good experience. There was a temporary exhbit on India that we both really enjoyed.
We had our nighttime drink and people-watching in another part of town and then went to Bastille for dinner and ice cream. Now we are prepping to go out in the hostel. It was a great first day and we are psyched for our final Paris push, but sad that it is almost over.
