Yep you guessed it, I rained again today. I was a bit worse today because we had a walking tour and it started to just down pour and our pour tour guides didn't have umbrellas. But more on that in a bit.
First order to the day was to sit through a very interesting lecture Eirk Saite, who was a very eccentric French composer. And then it was off to the walking tour of Montmartre. This is the place that has the huge hill and the cool tram things that you can take up the hill and the passengers stay upright. However we walked around and found some of the haunts of famous artists. Artists like; Picasso, Diaz, Van Gogh, Toulouse- Lautrec and Monet.
We saw beautiful buildings and the classic streets that I imagined Paris to have. This was the Paris I was hoping to see. I just wish it wasn't raining and that I could have spent more time there and just soaked it all in. I am trying to be good about just absorbing the moment and breathing it all in but the rain kinda distracted me. So I wasn't able to do that when the tour ended at Sacré-Cœur Basilica. That is the large church that you see on all the postcards that isn't the Notre-Dame. You can see the city of Paris from the steps of the church. It was a beautiful lay out and amazing that you can see so much from just the top of a hill/small mountain. Inside the church was silent and beautiful, unfortunately there were no pictures allowed inside. Today was a good day I ate a crêpe avec nutella in France for the first time and it was huge and delectable. I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Jusqu'à demain
