La granadina

It's the spring semester of my junior year, so I am celebrating with un gran viaje filled with classes (unfortunately) and crazy foreign fun.

The City of Love

There are [35] photos in this gallery.

Anna and my adventures in Paris.

Our first hostel experience. Aww. This would be the one in Madrid, before we went our separate ways. Views[64] Le Arc de Triomphe pour la nuit? Je ne parle pas français... Views[81] The Seine at night. Views[72] Take a wild guess. Views[58] More nighttime Eiffel Tower. Views[76]
 
And still more! But really, how could I resist? Views[75] The Louvre. Please note the excess of sun... Views[63] Sun rays on tourists. Views[61] After so many churches, you can take pictures in the Louvre?! I did, just because I could. Views[75] Me, inside that pyramid thing. Views[65]
 
Further proof that I was there! Views[73] Sailboats! Taking a break from walking in the Tuileries. Views[91] To the Musee d'Orsay! Views[67] It used to be a train station. Views[64] Watches are not necessary here. There's a giant clock! Views[51]
 
With the starry background they set up, I think you were supposed to take a picture. Required, even. Views[68] Crazy city floor. Views[52] Anna got really excited that this gallery was called La Salle (that's where she goes to school), but then she realized that's just French for Behind the giant clock. Crazy. Views[58] The sunny Seine. Views[52]
 
Notre Dame! Views[60] More Notre Dame! Views[52] Place de la Bastille. After 1792, they built this monument to celebrate liberty. Views[69] Remember that time it was sunny while we were inside museums? Yeah, I do too. This is the peace monument and that may be the Eiffel Tower in the background, but I really can't be sure because of the severely overcast sky and softly-falling rain. Je ne sais pas. Views[67] Paz = Peace. I dunno how to say it in French. Smart of me. Views[64]
 
Yes, I am almost positive that it's the Eiffel Tower. Views[67] Pretty tall up close. Spanish people are so short, they would not know what to do! Views[62] Green grass and winter trees. Views[54] Paris from the sky. Views[45] Metro! Or déjà vu? I feel as though I've studied this before... Not an art neuveau slide from Vis Comm. I swear. Views[65]
 
Speaking of déjà vu, have we been here before? Every corner brought more stairs. Not cool, Paris. Not cool. Views[67] At last! Sacre Cour. Views[75] Paris done in shades of grey. Views[69] The Moulin Rouge. Guess what song was in my head all day? Views[70] Anna seducing me. Or showing off all the crumbs from our delicious hostel picnic (it was cold and rainy, remember). Not sure which, but definitely one of the two. Views[90]
