Bonjour Paris!

J'arrive en Paris!

 First view of the eiffel tower from the river.
 A bottle of wine to celebrate la vie de Paris! 
 All lit up at night. 
 7 am view from my bedroom window.
 Outside the international club. 
 Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione.
 A day in Montmartre.

 Le sacre coeur.
The creperie where we ate in Montmartre.
I could not have asked for a better start to what is sure to be an amazing semester in Paris! Barcelona was so much fun I almost didn't make it out alive, and actually didn't make it out with my credit card.. oops. My first day in France was a bit hazy from the jetlag and lack of sleep, but day two I took off running and haven't looked back since. I've stayed true to my procrastinating self and have a few hundred pictures to upload, but here is a picture recap of what I've done so far. It's so mind boggling to see things in real life you have read about and seen in pictures for years, its made my first week very surreal. As far as new discoveries go, Montmartre is such a beautiful place. Around every corner is a little shop or alleyway to peep your head into. The hilly cobblestone streets and pristine apartments are so quaint and the view of the city from Sacre Coeur is absolutely breathtaking. The crepes at the end of the tour didn't hurt either :) nom nom so far I'm living off baguettes, cheese and pizza?
