Paris is a beautiful place. It is really pretty after dark
with the Eiffel Tower glowing yellow in the night. I enjoyed wandering around the Christmas
markets with all of the bright lights, shops, smells of fresh baked food and
sounds of cheer.
The best burger place is Big Fernand, l'atelier du Hamburger à Paris. The lines for this place
were out the door and the size of the restaurant does not fit the big taste of
the food. I liked the French take on an American
classic.
As some of you may know, I enjoy art and learning about art
history. I strolled through the halls of the Louvre for hours. The main piece is the Mona Lisa and because
of my mother, we were able to go in front of the crowd to admire the work. I also went to Versailles. The grandeur of
the palace was amazing, it was also fun to walk through the gardens.
New Years on the Champs Elysees was packed with people fully of cheer celebrating 2014. We celebrated at the Lido. It was an fabulous show with amazing performers. There were dancers, elephants, people ice skating and the costumes were amazing! The food was really good too, although I don't think I am a caviar girl but I do love lobster. The show ended like clockwork 20 seconds before midnight and then the masks streamers and fireworks began. The parties and the music were spilling into the street. It was so much fun, this was my favorite New Years!
Paris was a beautiful place and I look forward to returning
to the city of lights.
Ciao for now!
