Pompidou, Notre Dame, etc.

>> 1.10.2010

Okay, so I had a really fun day today. This morning I woke up early and decided to meander around the city, sans metro- REALLY difficult for me. I don't really know the streets well yet. But, I made it to the 3rd arrondisment and then finally to.... POMPIDOU! The museum of modern art. I never thought I could be so perplexed. I spent a good 5 hours there just wandering through the exhibits- I featured some of my favorite pictures below... But, there was SO much to look at, I could have spent 2 weeks there. My favorite installment there was this film called "Heartbeats," all about the intimate lives of 14 couples. It lasted about 30 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. I found myself in this pitch black room by myself, slumped against the back wall, absolutely perplexed. It was just a bunch of photos and music, but it was SO amazing.. Then I saw a bunch of Picassos- but they weren't my favorite.. After that, I wandered around and found Notre Dame on accident, but it was nice, I got to mark it off of my list of things to see- photo below. I slunk through the Latin Quarter, but I need to go back because I was just too tired to have fun. I polished off the day with a quick run in at Zara's for a pair of heels, seeing how mine are just absolutely DESTROYED. Now, I'm at home, cuddled into bed watching CLOSER, my favorite movie of all time. Tomorrow is another adventure, see you then!
A bientot.

Just gave grandma Riggle your blog site this morning. I thought she already had it, but I guess not. She is excited to follow along through your travels!
