Don't make laugh of me!


So Ben invited me to go out to a few pubs last night - it was so much fun! First we walked to the Eiffel Tower - I'd never seen it up close at night before and it was GORGEOUS :) (oh yeah, pictures in reverse order AGAIN) Then we met up with his friend Sydney at a little pub near la Tour Eiffel. We then headed to the Sorbonne to look around and then to another pub owned by his friend's Dad.



At the first pub... He's so tall!



It was cute... I liked the second one better (no pictures, sorry... I was slacking off last night lol)



He made me take a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower so I made him do it too :)



Isn't it gorgeous???



*sigh of contentment*

Just wandering around :)


So Alex played tour guide and took us to Van Gogh's cemetery/gardens/house/etc. and later we headed to Paris for dinner. This morning Chessa and I went to St. Christophe to check out the market and boy was it worth waking up on a Saturday morning!





Look at this crazy wall of strawberries!



Tubs of olives!



Look at all the produce I bought (well, plus bread and PAIN SUISSE) for 15 euros!



Heading into the train station (not metro - it's different!)



Old school train :)



It's weird - but I think I like it :)



Yeah yeah, color accent again



The stop



I found another feature on my camera! Macro - makes really close up shots super clear



They have dandelions in France! Hahaha the thought of that made me happy :)



Street signs



This is the inside of the church that Van Gogh painted... Looked like a miniature Notre Dame



Pretty n'est-ce pas?



:)



Ha I love this house! I wish I could've gotten back far enough to get the whole thing but there wa a wall in my way :(



Outside the church



Wide open spaces



The cemetery... Graves here are PIMPED OUT



No color accent necessary :)



And here he lies



Beside his brother



Isn't it just lovely?



Ok, so now you'll be getting a lot more nature shots :) (notice the bee in the top right corner)



Grave in Blue (modern art)



They had signs with his famous paintings to mark places where he got his inspiration



We walked all over!



French countryside :)



We're all green!



Think we'd make a cute couple? ;-)



It was a day of flowers - they were everywhere!



Just looked pretty



Haha a "doormat"



Cute pansies



Told you they were everywhere!



??? I have no idea what they were but they looked cool



Coolest train stop ever... It was so pretty!



Sunflowers!



Walking under the tracks



Ceiling



Stairs leading up to platform



Tricked out train :)



We got pretty tired



Giant Nutella!



Isn't it gorgeous?



I LOVE PARIS!!!!!!!!!
