Paris In Late Fall.

In November of 2009 Lindsay and I spent 2 wonderful days in the one of the greatest cities in the world...Paris, France. We managed to find an incredibly cute hotel right in the Latin Quarter of the city. Upon arrival the sweet french women at the front desk said that she liked my email so much that she was upgrading us to a room with a balcony. (before our arrival I sent an email asking if we could be upgraded but told them if they couldn't do this it was no problem at all...she must have liked that) The "upgrade" she was referring to was a top floor room with a small balcony that overlooked a church and the cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter...we were simply amazed! The hotel was also incredible because of its location. It was literally a 5 minute walk to cathedral Notre Dame and less than 1 minute to the Saint Michelle metro station. Everyday we grabbed an "all day metro card" and took the train everywhere. We saw the Eiffel Tower numerous times both day and night and hit up other famous sights like the Arc De Triumph, Sacre Coeur Basilica, etc, etc. We were especially impressed with the cobblestone streets and cafes of the Montmartre village (this is the old bohemian area of Paris). Because we were traveling on a budget street food was what we ate. A baguette sandwich, coke and Nutella crepe was our staple meal. We found one particular corner bakery in the Latin quarter that made incredible crepes right out on the street. We loved to get the crepes and go back to our little hotel room to eat them on our balcony and watch Paris from above. We eventually said goodbye to Paris by catching the TGV out of the Paris EST station to Munich Germany. Although it is not the most exotic destination; Paris is one of the most magical and unforgettable cities on Earth!
