I am not sure what this arch is called. But it is opposite the Arch de Triump
It is never a sunny day when i take pictures
After walking through a very nice park, Sloan, Clint and I walked down the Chaps-Elysee. It is is a very popular shopping area. I guess you could even say that it is a very BIG shoping area!!! LOL..... am I really the only person laughing at that joke.

I am not too sure what this is. but it still looks cool.
Ahh, French family films
Aff, the Eiffel Tower. It is strangely a lot wider than you would expect. It is also a funny colour.
Super!!! This is the inside of one of the Metro stations. Although I think that the London Underground is a lot nicer, the Paris Metro does have a lot more art. Here, there was a mural that went all the way through the stair case.
On our way to the cathidral we saw some street preformers. I have to say that the street preformers in Paris do seem to work a little harder than the ones in london.
Geeze, Clint and I were super tired after walking up this super long hill. I was really tired. I just don;t know how Sloan was able to practically sprint up the hill. I guess English majors are better off at sitting and reading. Leave the hiking to everyone else.
Here is Paris from above. Although we realized that there was a shuttle that would have taken us to the top of the hill, walking made this site worth it.
This is the Sacre Coeur. This is a really cool cathidral. Asside from having a beautiful interior, while we were there Mass was being prefromed by a group of nuns. It was beautiful.
We made it to the top, and to celebrate the end of our trip. a tired Clint and I pose for a picture with Pairs in the background.
NOW here Sloan and I take a picture with eachother with Pairs as our background.
This street was really narrow. I enjoied the walk down a lot better than the walk up. The evening was so warm and peiceful. I think that the Mass heard in the cathidral really set a mood for the rest of the evening.
Ahh, finaly it is the end of the day. We head back down to the Metro to eventualy return home.

One of the last weekends before I left I went to Hyde Park, home of the Honest Sauge... and Spearks Corner
Tadaaaa, on this day I went out with a few of my freinds to finaly check out Speaker's Corner before it was time to leave. Some of the people who went were...
Malissa
.....and...Kaajal
...and Maren
It was a wonderful day so we watched all of the people walking and playing games.
As time went by, there were lots of backpack totting turist just like us.
This was one of many speakers who talked about God. I noticed that eventhough there were about relativly the same thing, non of them agreed.
This man seems alright and normal, untill i pulled out my camera. Then he started dancing... why? I don't know
I am horrible at spelling. I try to use spell check before every post. It doesn't always work out. Sometimes this is a knitting blog and other times it is a "my life" blog. Either way I try to change it up.
