day one in paris was about as good as it gets, notra dame cathedral...walking up the eiffel tower, and the lovure for a night cap. what was even better is that we had enough time to walk around the city, down narrow streets, smell the fresh markets on the streets, look in the shops, experience paris, not just the tourist sights and the metro system. our hostel was in a great location also, we were on les gobelins street which is in the latin quarter, where most of the students are. about a 5 min walk down the street, u were engulfed with street venders selling fresh fruit and veggies. the oranges were the best i ever had. there were bread shops everywhere as well that were made fresh each morning. one of my favorites though, was when i walked by a market selling fresh sea food, fish, clams, crab, everything, i could have sat there and taken in all the smells and i dont think i would have ever forgotten paris from the moment on.
