stumbling upon the Louvre in the middle of the night! – can’t be beat!

this completely captured the essence of my stay in paris. somehow completely cozy while being drizzly. (although there was lovely sunshine as well)

thank God the views were worth it! the climb was slightly intense after half a day of walking. (such is the fate of a cash strapped college student) PLUS the winds were so strong that tower access was closed the next day!

since i am behind the lens the rest of the trip…i took this really quickly to keep from sticking out as the only single person around! (this was a couple days before valentines)

sometimes i put this as my computer background when i am feeling down… :)
