arriving in paris

the flight to paris wasn't so bad
we slept for about 6 hours of it and watched a movie or two
it was great
so surreal to be in PARIS!
 we walked to our air bnb
it was crazy to see it in person after looking at it online so much
 the door to our place

 we got there in the evening and walked up to the sacre coeur 
 it's beautiful and has such a great view

 our first gelato 
 we ran down a million stairs and hopped on a bus to the eiffel tower
it was so much more beautiful in person than i expected
i was giddy



 we didn't have to stand in line very long and we got tickets to go all the way up
on the elevator, no less
 view from the 2nd floor
 we got to the top just as the sun was setting




 right as we got down the tower started sparkling
it only does it on the hour for 5 minutes once it gets dark so it was perfect timing
 seriously so magical
 we rode the metro back to our place but hopped off long enough to see the arc de triomphe
 we ate a super late dinner at a little cafe right around the corner from our air bnb

it was the perfect first evening in paris
