my first weekend in paris in a month!

can you believe it?  for the last month, i have been a negligent friend to my beloved city.  but, this weekend, i was here!  thursday after class i spent some time in the first arrondisement, the highlight of which was my trip to goyard, home of the most beautiful tote bags in the world!  then, i was off to sacre coeur, the last of paris's major monuments i had yet to visit.  it was spectacular.  i've reached the point where i feel that i could see a million churches and still love all of them.  there is something about religious art that is inherently special; perhaps, it is the attention and love that goes into it that makes it just so beautiful.  friday, i was off to the musée de cluny (middle ages) which is housed in the most amazing building.  then i wandered up across the seine past notre dame to berthillon, home of the most famous ice cream in paris.  it was so creamy, more like the gelato of italy.  i had praline and salted caramel flavor... yum!  i've been a bit of a homebody for the rest of the weekend, except for a venture to my local wine bar with my friend danielle last night.  à bientôt!  bisous!
