So some of you may not know but I got to stop in Paris for 12:30 hours on the way to South Africa and I had one of the best/worst experiences of my life! HAHAHA
So as soon as I stepped off the plane I was trying to find a way into the city... I went the cheap way and decided that I would take the train....
Number one problem: I have never taken public transportation before in my LIFE...
number two problem: NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE speaks english....
number 3 problem: even if they do they are the rudest people I've ever met.
But I eventually got on the train and this guy was singing for us on the train and as you can see was very pleased that I took a picture of him!
A picture from the side of the Louvre ( one of the worlds largest museums!)
The front of the louvre
This was one of my favorite things in Paris its a WHOLE bridge covered in lockets!!!
Couples go there to put a locket on their with their names and a date etc..
I happened upon a couple arm in arm smiling from ear to ear at eachother a few blocks away from this bridge and just happened to glance at the gentleman's hand and he was holding a little red locket with their names on it!
This just reminds me of ...
in an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
lived 12 little girls
in two straight lines... hehe if you know what I'm talking about you are on the top of my list..... ( now what the list is for i'm still trying to figure that out!) HA!

This is how almost all the men dress there... and yes these are men...
This road is literally RIGHT next to the eiffel tower!
It took my breath away!
Call me stupid but I did not know that the eiffel tower was called the eiffel tower because there was a man named eiffel....
but HEY you learn something new everyday! ;)
What I was trying to get a picture of in this one was if you look closely there are peoples names in gold written on the sides!... only problem is I'm not sure what they are for.... HA
but possibly for some people that donated to the construction of it?
Went on a little tour bus all around paris so I took this picture from a different angle of the eiffel tower....
And just to prove that I didnt get these pics of the internet here is a picture of me in front of the eiffell tower! this is my shy picture the other one was of me in star mode... some of you can imagine what It looks like cause you know me too well
This is the outside of Notre Dame was truly incredible I seriously missed the chance to go upstairs by seconds!!! AUGH! but still the art/architecture/ detail/ and construction of this building blew my mind!
could have stayed there for hours!!
Every bathroom in the Charles de Gaulle, Paris airport is painted with some sort of art work on it! Was so cool!
My consensus of Paris:
number one
It is an understatement that the people in paris are rude. You have never met such a huge group of jerks in your life! No joke heed my warning and many others who have gone before you.
number two
when people say french woman smell.... it is the understatement of the year! They smelled just as bad if not worse than the homeless people in Africa!!! I'm telling you I was literally coughing like I was dying from lung cancer!
anyways still pretty awesome place to visit ( if you can stand the smell) I would just suggest to know where your going and how to get there before you leave!
