let's go to sleep in paris

with archana having a rare 4 day break, we decided to make the most of it. after a bunch of deliberating, we passed up the caribbean, vermont, and miami for a short hop over the lake to paris (not sure why it took so much consideration). 4 days was more than enough time to see all of what we wanted to see. sure we could have seen more, but we got to what we wanted. it was pretty awesome seeing such beauty and history all over the place.

the highlights for me were:
- seeing the amazing architecture of notre dame and the view from the top
- all the famous artwork at the lourve and musee d'orsay, especially the winged victory of samothrace and all the great impressionist pieces
- the paris night lit up by the blue lights of the eiffel tower
- hanging out at cafes, eating crepes and drinking wine or beer
- hearing arch converse with locals in french
