fanny packs! a time for healing and churros

Saturday morning (or I should say afternoon) we decided to be touristy to help us enjoy our time in Paris and not be angry like we were so we were going to go to Musée Rodin, which is my fave museum in Paris. It was a really nice day out, but by the time we got there, they were closing (look, we're lazy on weekends...and weekdays), but then we realized that the next day (today) would be the first Sunday of the month, which is free admission! So, instead of the Musée Rodin, we hopped on the métro and went to the Champs-Elysées and walked around. We got Häagen-Dazs and then watched a really weird parade and went to Flam's for dinner which was recommended by Esther and was delic.




The next day, we got up at a normal person's time and went to Musée Rodin (for free!) which was super! Took a few pics.




Then we went to the Eiffel Tower, took some super high quality pics for Melinda. We bought popcorn and sat and watched some skateboarders just below Trocadero for a while.
It was really nice out so it was pretty cool.

Then we went to Montmartre to get dinner and hang out a bit. We got crepes, but my 4 cheese mix was pretty gross - I think it involved chèvre. And then a bag of fresh churros - AMAZING. We need to eat churros more often. Then we went home and crashed. I'm so tired, but Paris and I are on good terms again.

Le Lapin Agile

Last night, we went to the Lapin Agile in Montmartre. It's this adorable little cabaret in Montmartre. We went as a class and it was absolutely fantastic. The best way to describe it is as a tiny tavern where everyone sits really close to one another and everyone sings. There was about 6 or 7 singers who sat at a table towards the middle, next to a piano, with a pianist. They sang and led the songs. As a group, we took up more than half the room, but the French were singing along with most of the songs. They of course try to include you by giving more simple instructions, ie, clap like this or sing this really simple line. They also sang songs most people would know: Aux Champs-Elysées, Complainte de la Butte, Alouette, La Vie en Rose, etc...
It was superfun - I recommend it highly.
Pictures!

There was some crazy lighting...

This guy was a little (just a tiny bit) old for me, but I found him to be excessively attractive..."who knows where thoughts come from? they just appear."
