Estamos en Barcelona!

Hola! Estamos ahorra en Barcelona y estoy aprendendo hablar Catalan. Just checking into our hostel now at 2pm. Can't believe we already left paris and now are in a new big city. For a little while I forgot to change the language haha so I was saying pardon instead of perdon. Hilarities. A little recap of last night in Paris though.

Me and vida woke up and went out to explore some more Parisian sights. We started out taking the metro to the Arce de Triomphe where we took loads of pictures and met some Brazilian Capoeiristas performing in front of it. They were amazingly nice and we were able to exchange contact info to send them the great shots we go of them performing. On another note, I swear all Brazilians are vacationing in Paris right now. Everywhere I turned I saw them. To make matters worse I was leaving a video at the apple store by the opera house and some brazilians kept walking into my video for my aunt in Brazil and then I went on to say that there were some crazies behind me and low and behold they were Brazilian and laughed at me lol. Of course this would happen to me. We had our first sit down lunch at a cute cafe next to the Jardin des Tuleries. It was amazing! I had a croque monsieur just to be very french haha. If you don't know what that is it is a sandwich with cheese and ham on the inside and shredded cheese melted on top. Can you say AMAZING? It was soooo delicious, then for sake of being in France and stuffing my face with crepes, I had a crepe du chocolate. Tres maginifique. After a long day of sightseeing we called it because we were sooo exhausted and had an early flight to barcelona. I have to admit leaving was sad, but I will be back there in a few days for more Parisian escapades. Now on to some Spanish fun! Hasta luego!

premier jour

so me and Vida have arrived in Paris :). We got in at 1am US time and 10am Paris time and now it is 12:40 and after a long day we are about to head to bed! We got to see the Eiffel tower in all it's glory at night and to make it more of a welcome someone decided to turn on all the shiny lights to welcome us off the metro. Unbelievable! Before crepes du fromage et chocolat under the Eiffel tower we got to see the Sacre-coeur and sit in the church for a little bit. Amazing and beautiful architecture. any recommendations for Paris and Barcelona are welcome :). bonne nuit!
