We'll meet you at the Mona Lisa...

Today our morning started with church at the most amazing building an LDS church has evah seen! It's a 17th century building across from Le Centre Pompidou, which is the modern art museum here in the heart of Paris. It's also a couple blocks from Notre Dame, Hotel de Ville, and the Seine River. So crazy!

After church--which was definitely difficult and tiring to try and understand for three hours straight--a bunch of us went out on the town to buy lunch. I know, we're Sabbath breakers! haha! But what were we supposed to do? We're on vacation right? Gotta take advantage! ...juuuuust kidding! After walking for a decent amount, in heels none the less, we stopped at a crepe and baguette stand and I bought a baguette sandwich with ham, cheese and butter, and a "coca light" aka a diet coke. It was delicious!!

After lunch, some of us decided to take a stroll down the Seine and casually investigate the Louvre. Ya know...we had to be cool cause we're no longer touristes since we have an official Paris address! HA! Once again...just kidding! The Louvre was A-MAY-ZING! It was actually closed because of May Day--a huge holiday for riots and such here in Paris--but the outside with the fountains and all was just GOY-JUSS! ;)

Wanna here something sweet? I know you do and even if you don't imma tell you anyway: my roomie Kayla and I had to meet our host family so we left the group we were with and we needed a meeting place in the Louvre...so naturally I said, "We'll meet you at the Mona Lisa at 4 pm." Yeah, you heard right...the MONA freaking LISA!! Wahoo!

Even though the Louvre turned out to be closed so we couldn't actually meet up there...it was all-in-all a stinkin' great day! An afternoon Sunday outing in the heart of Paris isn't too shabby! Well, au revoir et bon soir!

p.s. don't ever try and walk around Paris for miles on end in heels...ever! You will regret it even if you look cute doing it! ;)
