JE T'AIME, PARIS

FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE DREAMT OF GOING TO PARIS. I ALWAYS IMAGINED PARIS TO BE AN ELEGANT CITY, FILLED WITH ROMANCE, SARTORIAL SPLENDOR AND BEAUTIFULLY ORNATE BUILDINGS WITH VIEWS OF THE EIFFEL TOWER.

MY DREAM FINALLY CAME TRUE DURING MY FIRST VISIT TO PARIS LAST WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY THE WEATHER WAS COLD AND RAINY, BUT THAT DIDN'T DAMPEN MY EXPERIENCE. GETTING LOST IN THE CHARMING STREETS OF LE MARAIS, PICNICKING AT THE EIFFEL TOWER AND ADMIRING THE FOG-COVERED CITY FROM THE TOP OF MONTMARTRE WERE A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY TRIP. I HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS CITY AND VOWED TO RETURN.

I DIDN'T TAKE AS MANY PHOTOS AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED BECAUSE I WAS TOO CAPTIVATED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY. HERE ARE THE FEW MOMENTS I DID MANAGE TO CAPTURE:

VIEWS FROM ATOP MONTMARTRE:

SCULPTURE HEAVEN FOUND IN ATELIER BRANCUSI:

SCENES FROM THE LOUVRE, FEATURING THE FAMOUS MONA LISA:

WANDERING THE STREETS OF PARIS AND STUMBLING UPON QUAINT STOREFRONTS:

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY FAVORITE, THE EIFFEL TOWER:
