Almost home. It's really hot here.

Au revoir Paris. Until next time!

Just got some gelato at a place right across the street from our apartment and they served it in the shape of a flower in each of our cones!

Sat for a while at Trocadero taking in the Eiffel Tower one last time before we leave tmrw :(

Took a walk down the Champs Elysses, but couldn't climb the Arc de Triomphe because the police had it blocked off for some reason :-/

Today we ate at another fabulous restaurant called Semilla. It just opened two months ago and is already the talk of the town. It's owned by an American from Miami who also owns a few other restaurants on the street, including one that we ate at earlier in the week.

We visited the Pantheon (not the one in Rome...I was confused too) which celebrates the French people and also houses the tombs of French notables like Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas, Marie Curie, and Voltaire.

Ate lunch yesterday at an AMAZING restaurant right by our apartment that only seats 28 people at a time! It was delicious, but unfortunately it is closing forever on Sunday because the owners (the only cook and only server) are retiring. I posted a pic of the vegetable soup, but forgot to take pics of the rest before I ate it all. Whoops.

Megan and I climbed Notre Dame to visit Quasimodo and the gargoyles!

Here are some pics from our walks in different places around the city yesterday!
