without further ado, i'll try and make it short and brief. it was a very blah day for pictures for some reason, i just couldn't find the right creative motivation or inspiration. so in those cases, it's time for a lot of post-processing. in case they look fake... well it's pretty much post-processed to death so they might as well be! :)
notre-dame. cool church, we'll have to attend sunday mass sometime soon for sure. awesome architecture, phenomenal history, but aside from that, as a tourist spot, just ok.
point zero, at notre-dame. this is the true center of paris
interior of notre-dame
exterior of notre-dame, with the flying buttresses (heh heh... he just said butt...)
while we were waiting for the deportation museum to open, we decided, what the heck, lets get some ice cream at berthillon, THE place to get ice cream in paris... and when they say "THE"... so do we :)
deportation museum. from hitler's occupation of paris, tens of hunderds of thousands of jewish and gypsies were sent to concentration camps... it just makes me mad thinking about it...
there's an archeological crypt right outside of notre-dame. would recommend seeing it, it's like a 10 minute tour, free with your museum pass, and kinda cool, not much to take pictures of though...
and then, there was the saint-chappelle (named after the comedian, dave chappelle), which was most definitely the BEST thing of the day (Grace will argue it was the ice cream, it's a toss up in my mind)... the stained glass... incredible... absolutely incredible.)
followed by the conciergerie (where they lopped off the heads of political prisioners during the french revolution, and bad blog writers... soon to be the laztiggre...)
after a long day of walking... and walking... and walking... we finally came to dinner time, where we found a cheap eat called Le Kong. cheap eat in paris??? well for my omelet, i paid 10 euros, for grace's sandwich, 14... with THE best butter for their bread... in the entire world. if you doubt me, i dare you to enter into this weird trendy place, try out their bread and butter, and see if it doesn't disappear in front of you in 5 seconds flat. if it doesn't happen, i will gladly pay for your meal at le-kong, on the premise that you let me finish your bread and butter of course
that's it for yesterday! see u next time!
