well our last day was quite a scramble we had to fit in everything we wanted to do!
We started with The Louvre where I ate my first MADELEINEs! they were sooo good!
We then went to the Orangerie and Musee Rodin because the Louvre collection was not big enough for us. Ha. . . culture overload! But I loved ALL of it! The Gardens at Musee Rodin were so lovely and we could have stayed there all day. . . but we were so hungry so we made our way up to a little neighborhood called Montmartre. We had to go to a Metro stop named MADELEINE!!!!  


And the area where we got off the metro was a dream! 
Cobblestone-street performer-hilly-little bakery shop town
Where  We all tried Escargot!!! eeeehhhhack! ha actually it was not terrible. . . just not good. . . and hard to get over the fact
Funny thing was they would not except card and we were all out of cash. So we all dug into our pockets and barely made it to our total in coins. Interesting little experience. . .

but just look!  wandering these streets was one of the best things i have ever done! For a while we did not know where were were going. . . but then I looked up and saw something. . . I saw a large white dome. Following that we found the 

Sacre-Couer

An awe-inspiring building atop a hill that over looked the whole city! It was a great experience to be able to see the whole city and be able to point out places and get oriented with where we had been.


  We made our way back down the winding streets popping our heads in every little shop and restaurant until we found this cute little place and got pizza. . . then another little place and got bread and macaroons. . .
  and another little vendor where they handmade from scratch churros for us! Best ever!!!

I cannot believe that our Pairs trip is over! That happened way too fast. It felt like one long day trip. Paris is one of the best places on Earth- however it is so nice to be back where I can talk and read!
