Woa.

Day 7 in Paris

The rhythm and the liveliness of Paris is starting to slip into me. I love how the laws are more loose, and yet I also hate it. Every time I get ready to cross the street I check approximately 18 times before going. Because honestly,Parisians could not care less who is in their way. They simply want to reach their destination and avoid all obstacles hindering the process. 

Another thing I've found about Paris is that some things, like the Eiffel Tower and the l'arc de triumph, have been somewhat underwhelming. These are tourist spots that I have always dreamt of visiting. Now, don't think that I wasn't dazzled at the sight of them, I certainly was. But what I found truly incredible were all the back streets lining the main ones. I really enjoyed all the little hole in the wall crêperies, coffee shops, with street artists and  tiny old bookstores near by. These were the sights that made me fall in love with Paris. 

More thoughts and observations soon. Below are some pictures of things I've seen so far.
