we're here, breakfasting in our beautiful-petite hotel on the edge of the city. yesterday was jam-packed from start to finish (above, two moments from the day). it was our six-month anniversary and we felt a bit spoiled spending it in paris. we scoped out some curiosity cabinets (i got a shot or two, before being scolded, which i will share later), wandered around the museum national d'histoire naturelle, ate stinky cheese and velveted red wine at the cafe du marche and then, realizing we were blocks from the eiffel tour, decided why not? (last trip, i was completely uninterested in seeing the tower as a tourist attraction. but Z & i are obsessed with world's fairs and it was built as the entry arch for the 1889 one. so we both admitted we wanted to see it afterall). and what an intense sight, late last night without all the tourists pressing in and around. the place was deserted (just Z & i and the absolute scale of the tower). there's no way that i would have gotten the photos i shot during peak paris times. we ended the night over champagne (mine had a hint of liqueur de violette), tiramisu, and a sleepy metro ride home. and today we are off again--to the flower market, a little boat ceremony, and the pompidou.
(p.s. at the 30s party the other night, someone told Z that we looked like we were straight out of casablanca--which is actually 40s, but who cares! i thought it was a sweet way to remember our times this year, when we are older.
