In Paris for the week

Yups, I got to go to Paris for the fourth time in my life.

The first time was when I was a kid. Second, when I went with my Mom and brother on a youth council trip that I've already written about in this blog. Third was when me and a friend stayed for a week here and saw everything there was to see.

And now my fourth trip.

It's one of the coolest trips I've done since I am here on work and have extended my stay by a day so I'm really happy I can do this. Paris is Paris - beautiful and just a treat to walk around and absorb the beautiful buildings and scenery all around. I also went to The Louvre again - I love the architecture and the magnificence of the rooms more than anything. On the top floors I just spent all my time staring at the cieling and the walls looking at the grandeur all around. Napoleon's apartments too were a sight to see.

I didn't go to any other museums but spent today walking along the Seine and walked from Musee d'Orsay to Notre Dame Cathedral. I spent a bit of time just sitting listening to the carols in the Cathedral.

I can't believe I'm here again - it's just surreal.

I love my present assignment. Any assignment that sends you to Paris for a week is an assignment for which you should sit and work 150%.

Cuz Paris is just awesome.
And you only live once.
I did miss my husband though - a lot. It doesn't help being in one of the world's most romantic cities and not having your cutie around.
