macaroons, etc...

Last Thursday I went down to the Musée d'Orsay (my third time, its free!)...but this time i was armed with my camera. Dare me to say I enjoy the Musée d'Orsay more than the Louvre. I can't get enough of it!!

(these boots got RUINED in the rain today)

Before the museum, candida and i went to Pierre Hermé, one of the best macaroon shops in Paris...there is a french saying for such great sweets, "C'est un péché mortel" or "it's a mortal sin". They were sooo good!



On the way home, we ran into a group of breakdancers. Breakdancers in paris can rival that of any in the world, they were unbelievable. What I love about Paris is that all forms of expression are appreciated, without judgement.

Friday night, ohhh, friday night, i found this music venue/club that showcases up-and-coming bands and mcs called fleche d'or. The lineup was great lots of electro beats. I was really excited because I've had a hard time finding 'nightlife' that consists of more than café bars. We don't get into the club until 1:30am which would usually signal the end of the night, but this place stayed open until 6am! We ended up staying till about 5am and took the first train home at 6am. It was really funny actually, we saw people seeting up the morning open air markets. The metro was full of the late night crowd juxtaposed with people on their way to work. Needless to say, I didn't do much on saturday or sunday.

Today started a week full of rain in Paris. It has only drizzled here so I expected the same today...no. It was pouring rain combined with 20 mile an hour wind. This is the result:

what's missing here?

love and peace!
