La Notre Dame de Paris!

The following events actually occurred Saturday, Jan 28th, I just didn't have time to blog until now.

Notre Dame
So Saturday was a fun day of walking around and getting to know Paris. I stayed mostly around the middle area by the Seine. After over 5 days in Paris, I finally got to see the Notre Dame! I meet a group of girls from Central there and we walked through the cathedral and afterwards we walked around the shops close by. We also stopped in a cafe and got crepes and hot drinks because it was REALLY cold that day! 

Here are some pix:










Exploring Paris:
After we saw the Notre Dame, we explored Paris to the North of the Seine. We saw the Hotel de Ville and there was a little carnival or something in front  of it. There was a cute carousel there, and for some reason some of the girls thought it was free so they hopped on, but when it started a lady came around and collected 2,50 Euros from them! Haha! I stayed off to take pictures, so I got some nice before and after pictures. 





When they thought it was free...




After they realized it wasn't

We also ran into a parade for Chinese New Year: the year of the dragon! 





Lastly, We met a friend in front of the Notre Dame later when it was getting dark to go find somewhere to eat, so naturally I took more pictures, because it's absolutely gorgeous at night!
