Part 3-France

Days 7-10

Somehow we managed to book ourselves into a very ghetto part of france. the elephant and castle of Paris. Garges-sarcelles, that is where we stayed for a night. Just one night, then we packed our bags and left the hood for a nice little hotel near Notre Dam.

The eiffel tower was lit blue, giving it a slightly seedy karaoke lounge appearance from far. As we came closer it was very pretty against the red night sky. Naturally, we went on a photo snapping frenzy. This place is filled with monuments and stunning architecture. One evening spent at the Louvre had me gawking at Picasso's work of modern art, all inspired by Delacroix.

Strolling down Champs Elysees, Louis Vutton beckoned. Everything there is outrageously expensive. 220 euros for a keychain. Hanad says that he will buy a titanium case to protect his LV bag if he ever got one.

Endless paninis, baguettes, cheese and chocolates filled my tummy in france. It sure was one heck of a trip.
