Day 39 ->a love letter to Paris

Today was my last full day in Paris.

I had some things I wanted to do. But mostly wanted to take in the city one last time. I walked around a good bit, something I have done every day in the city. I feel that this is the way to truly see the city. Eating a binget or a crepe walking around. This is what I did for the most part. I had planned on going to the catacombs but when I got there they had cut the line 1.5 hours before closing.

I went to the army museum and napoleons tomb. I explored the WWI and WWII wings. This is a great museum. It is interesting filled with artifacts, interactive features and pictures. It is very accurate and not too biased towards the French. Napolean's tomb is meh.. Gold, stone, etc. Way over sensationalized.

But Paris, I will miss you. I always do. Everytime I leave you, I long to return. You are truly beautiful. You do not try to hide your sleaze and trash, yet you bring class to it and call it art. You don't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks of you, because you are great. You have a certain attribute to you that is unique.

Take care,

Amor.

    Absolutely loved the way you put this! I've been to Paris once in my life, and have longed to return ever since. There's just something about Paris.
