Gallery: Paris, France

la grande arch Originally uploaded by bgilmor.

Finally, the last gallery of my European adventure. Paris grew on me over the course of three days, and I began to appreciate its lore as a wonderful place...to visit. I don't possess anywhere close to enough fashion sense to stay there for any prolonged amount of time.

For the first two days, I went around with John, David, and Walter, who I had arranged to meet there. It was definitely a different dynamic than being on my own, but I'm glad I had the chance to spend a couple days with them.

After they left, I spent my final day wandering around the city with only a map and Metro pass before ending up at the Eiffel Tower (to the locals, Tour Eiffel) to close out the night.

Highlights: Tour Eiffel, Picasso museum, drinking wine along the banks of the Seine late at night, walking down the Champs-Elysées, using my Chinese to order sushi for four.
