Paris is amazing! We've been going nonstop all day everyday, with not a lot of time to stop and update a blog or write anything down. Instead of a painstaking recap, here are some highlights (from an entire week of highlights):
-We went to the ballet at the Palais Garnier! We had 7€ tickets (our seats reflected this), but the theatre is unreal gorgeous and opulent. Apparently (Hlady tells me) it inspired the 'Phantom of the Opera'! And the ballet itself was really really beautiful. It was pouring on the way there, so we were running through Paris with sensible raingear on over our sort-of fancy dresses. Saskatchewan would have been proud!
-We had thrilling drinks that were served with glowsticks and marshmallows. That was the first thing we drank when we got here... it was a pretty sweet welcome.
-We went to Notre Dame, which was REALLY beautiful and quite intimidating. Just across the island is Sainte-Chapelle, which was equally beautiful but in a much more serene way- the windows were unreal and impossible to describe.
