Paris: video

I think this is all we're going to do from Paris, as I'm falling behind on posting about everything else. This is a rough compilation of some videos I captured. I've been trying to avoid using copyrighted music but gave into the temptation here (it may eventually get pulled).

Paris: wanderings

I mentioned in my previous post that our apartment had a great location. We could walk out the door and immediately find something interesting. And a lot of walking we did!

Back when we had some sun:

So many amazing shops to photograph:

Same building, different time of day:

Early morning by the Louvre:

Crushed on the metro:

In front of a famous bookstore that was frequented by famous authors and appears in the movie Before Sunset.

Busker on the Seine:

Find the invisible building:

That's V by the fountain:

Palm trees?

Love the nighttime vibes in our neighborhood.

Paris: our flat

I realize now that I didn't take a lot of photos from inside our Airbnb. It was definitely an old place, a bit funky, but comfortable enough. I liked the exposed beams and some of the little nooks. The best part was the location in Le Marais, however.

A ladder to a loft we didn't use and a narrow staircase to the upper level:

The kitchen (that we also didn't use much because of all the good restaurants around):

Signs of the French New Wave and one of three bedrooms:

That's about all I have from the place!

Paris: food

By no means a comprehensive (or well-photographed) catalog of everything we ate, but here are a few things.

Croque monsieur:

Americano:

Crepes (this one was a bit over-the-top with Nutella):

Buckwheat galette:

Orangina:

Macarons:

Croissants:

Hot chocolate:

The one time we decided to stop for a snack and eat al fresco in order to skip the wait (it was cold!):

Paris: Picasso museum

There wasn't a lot open on New Year's Eve, so this was not our first choice of places to visit, but it was right in our neighborhood, so we went for it.
