).We didn't have a game plan for the day but thought we would walk wherever we were going because we wanted to see the city. We made our way to Sacre Coeur (domed church on hill in Montemarte). We had been warned by our brazilian friend to watch out for men with strings...as they try to tie them onto your finger or wrist and later ask you for money. They were quite pushy and even called one of us 'big boobed baby' and another one
of us Lady Gaga (which I don't think they realize us American's don't strive to be like Lady Gaga). We pushed our way past them with our arms crossed and made it up to the church. We then actually saw all those guys i just mentioned running because the police were coming (quite commical).Kels loved the church, as she had really wanted to see it while we were in Paris. We hung out in the surrounding garden as we planned the rest of our day. We started our long trek into the city of Paris (walking) and realized it wasn't as close as it seemed to be on the map. We quickly went into the metro station and bought a day pass train ticket to head to see the Louve (which we found courtesy of a Hungarian walking tour), Notre Dame, and the surrounding area. We had lunch at a little cafe (yummy lemon and chocolate tarts), and met some talkers from New York.
After sitting around the Louve eating chocolate, we decided to head home on the Metro (MFM). We were almost back to our hostel when we spotted the McDonalds a block away...we all looked at each other and figured it was a good idea. We went in and watched Kels order in French (2 diet cokes, 1 sprite and small fry!) Their McDonals is like a small night club upstairs (we got to listen to some Wiz Kahlifa and Chris Brown!)
We are looking forward to another day in Paris tomorrow....we will be going to the Eiffel Tower!
