A description of my first year in France. I learn about the food, the culture, the wine and of course the language.

Paris like a Tourist
Thats right! Pictures! Its still not perfect getting them on, but here are a few...This is a view from Pont Nuef. One of my favorite places, although I say that about nearly every place. Pont Nuef is where Gene Kelly sings "Our Love is Here to Stay" to Leslie Caron in "An American In Paris." It is still filled with the hopelessly romantic. They do express this in different ways. Writing, drawing, kissing, and a few unsavory habits. Despite that its a lovely spot right on the Seine.
Next, is of course the Eiffel Tower. For the first ten minutes of every hour the Eiffel Tower lights up like a sparkling glass of champagne. Some friends and I happened to be on the first viewing platform when it started. Honestly, no photo can capture how incredibly beautiful it is. Especially in the cold, cold winter air on a clear night. I don't know if its the cold or the beauty, but my breath is taken away.
Finally, a shot taken near Franklin D. Roosevelt square. It rather self explanatory, but feels so Paris!
P.S. Check out some previous blogs, I added pictures to go with them ;)
