Place de la concorde walk was cool becausewe got to see all the government buildings. i was a little nervous to take pictures because there were so many guards around. I also know that you aren't allowed to photograph the American embassy. It was interesting how there were all these super high end shops on the other side of the street like Prada and so forth. I was mostly just nervous seeing all the police and guard people around. I don't know why they always make me so nervous. The actual Place de la Concord was cool with the obelisk and fountains. the fountains were on so i knew it was spring time! that was happy. We then sauntered through Tuileries and basically just took it easy. It was cool to see how the pyramid, arc de triumphe du carrouselm the obelisk, arc du triomph, and the grand arc are in one line. why couldn't the streets be planned more like that? it was one of the first days where i could walk around without my coat and be perfectly fine. I've also noticed that the French are big on spring time romances. I have no idea where all these lovers came from but now they are on every bench busily participating in PDA. That would normally bug me at BYU, but for some reason here, i kind of like it in an odd way. Maybe it's just nice for me to see the French not being so cold. Whatever it is, PDA will never bother me much again.
