A Weekend in Paris

Paris is a beautiful city. I've been here for 3 days and I've seen a lot. Mac and I drove here Friday evening and arrived at his friend Stan's appartment around 10pm (where we are staying). Stan's appartment is right in the heart of downtown Paris. It's a really nice and large appartment, you almost feel like your in a house.
Stan was having a little party when we arrived on Friday night with a bunch of his friends who are mostly musicians, actors and other types of artists. It was really nice. I really enjoyed meeting all those people, they were a lot of fun.
Saturday we spent walking around Paris. We started our walk at the Louvre and continued on the stip to the arc de triomphe and l'Obelisque de Louxor and les Jardins des Tuileries. We spent a long time around that area.
Then we went to the Jeu de Paume museum, which is a photography museum. There were some intersting exibits being shown there. The big show was a photographer named Cindy Sherman. She had some very interesting series using manakins and/or fake body parts mixed with real people.
Then later on we went to les champs d'Elysees, which is the very large shopping/fashion district with all the very expensive stores like channel, versache etc. I bought a very cute dress there from a not so expensive store here, but very expensive store back home called Morgan. We also bought some candy at one of those old style candy shops.
Later on that evening we stopped at a bar/cafe and had a small meal outside on the patio, and then met up with Mac's brother and had some sushi for dinner at a very nice sushi place. We had a nice time.
After sushi, we all went to a bar and sat outside on the patio and had drinks. It was really nice.
When Mac's brother had to go, Mac and I descided that we would go to see the Tour eiffel at night when it's all lit up.

Sunday Mac and I rented bikes and saw Paris by bycicle. It was really cool. We went to the Jardins de Louxembourg. It was really pretty there, and I ended up starting to sketch the Palais de Louxembourg in my moleyskin notebook. We staye there till sundown, and then biked to the Eifel tour again because it was flashing all over with tiney little lites.
Monday Mac and I spent the entire day at the Louvre. It was beautiful. I spent most of my time sketching sculptures. It was a really nice time. I saw the Monalisa, which is much much prettier in real life.
Well more to come on my weekend in Paris soon!!!
