The weather has been perfect in Paris since arriving- 75 and sunny. We started out yesterday at the Arc D'triomph and made our way onto the legendary grand boulevard- Champs Eylsees. Every beautiful store imagineable (Dior, Nina Ricci, Chanel) and then the Paris flagship store- Hermes' caught our eyes. I went right to what Hermes is famous for "the scarves". I had to....a women walked up to me and said, "they're classic- you'll never regret it". And I won't, now I just need to learn how to tie it! I bought Elle a little cotton dress and leggings from Petite Bateau and there have been many tempations along the way. There are children's boutiques everywhere, and the French, from what I've observed, dress their children very well. And I almost forgot, we stopped in laduree and had the most amazing macaroons ever. I wanted to buy so many and bring them home but sadly, they only lastfor a few days. So yummy and such a pretty place.
We walked through the tulerie gardens that lead up to the Lourve and had a classic parisian lunch in a little cafe which consisted of cheese on the freshest baguette. Yum!
In the evening we went to a really trendy restaraunt, Kong- where a scene from Sex in the City was filmed. Then had champagne drinks at a really cool bar- Budha bar. These places are so beautiful and "parisian".
Off to a day of sightseeing...heading to the Notre Dame- I will light a candle for my parents who I miss so very much. Then more shopping and walking around this wonderful place. Boat cruise tonight along the Seine to see the Eiffle tower lit up!
PS-not using spell check...
Lots of love,
