Montmartre

Thursday we went to Montmatre, which is an artsy neighborhood in Paris.

On the way there on the metro, we heard an amazing violinist. I also saw this bizarre tall bicycle.

Non sequitur: Other tall skinny things around the house. The fridge almost reaches the ceiling

This teapot makes me laugh everytime I see it on the stove

In the streets of Montmatre, my cousin got a portrait done by one of the street artists. She seems displeased

There were a lot of interesting stores like le petit musee du chocolat

Chocolate Eiffel Tower!

For Neel

A rainbow of macaroons

Chocolate shoes...what more could a girl ask for?

and a store full of paintings

my fav

Montmatre is where the Sacre Coeur is, one of Paris’s most famous churches. The view was tres magnifique, with the clear blue sky in the background and the turquoise carousel in front of it. I think I liked this one better than the Notre Dame...Remember to enlarge the pictures!

Is this real life?

Sigh imagine sunbathing here on the weekends

Moi!

On the steps

The view

zoomed in on some weird graffiti

Afterwards we went to the smaller Chinatown (there are two in Paris) and got food. It was delicious!!

My excited cousin and her food

Damn...I should have ordered this

And finally, these are the shoes that I bought from today's trip!

My 16 year old cousin assures me these heels are very Parisian

The latest fad in Paris that has not yet made its way overseas...high heeled sneakers! I am obsessed with them
