Tardy Thanksgiving

We missed Thanksgiving this year by being out of the country, getting engaged, and all that. To make up for it, we made a mad delicious vegan friendly thanksgiving meal today. We also dressed Monica’s cats for our first holiday card.

Last Day in Paris

For our last day in Paris, we went all out. In the morning we originally tried to go to the Catacombs. Unfortunately, they were closed. We wondered over to the Academy of Beer and spent some quality time people watching and drinking delicious Belgians. After that, we went shopping at Saint-Germain-des-Prés followed by a climb atop the Eiffel tower. We finished the day by a visit to the Musée d’Orsay and Will’s wine bar. On the way back home we went by the Lover’s Bridge. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a lock. Perhaps next year…

More Walking and More Museums

Today we did more sleeping in and walking. This time we went to the Christmas Market and the Louvre. It was definitely an interesting experience going back to the museum when you know what to expect and checking out different wings that we have not had a chance to look through. Later that night we went back to Montmartre to snap a few pictures.

And Later That Night

We got engaged! I’ve been carrying the ring with me the whole time. Tonight, it just felt right to ask Mon the big question. Before going to a Moroccan restaurant for dinner, we stopped to get some photos of the Eiffel tower at night. Read the rest of this entry »

Another Gray day in Paris

Still unadjusted to the timezone, we slept in nearly the whole day. In order to meet one of Mon’s friend, we had to get out of bed. We walked all over the northern part of the city. Along the way we saw some weird Christmas displays at the department store windows, and ate at a phenomenal vegan restaurant, Bar D’Artisans.
