Tourists in Paris

Today we headed in to the center of Paris for a bit of sightseeing.

My Dad wanted to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, so my mum and I went off to do some shopping. I picked up a travel diary, an ornament for the Christmas tree and some postcards.

We then stopped for a coffee before heading off to meet Dad.

We met up with my Dad again at Place du Concorde. On his 100 meter walk from the Lourve he'd experienced four different scams and someone even tried to pick his pocket!

We then walked up Champs des Elyssees and admired all the amazing looking macaroons in the window of Lauduree.

Mum and I browsed round Shakespear & Co. bookshop while Dad headed over to Notre Dame. A man was playing piano and the shop was full of American writers working and staying there. They don't have a self help section though.

We had super tasty crepes for dinner in the Latin Quarter. The crepes here are think and stuffed full of ingredients. I went for cheese and mushroom.

We then wandered round the Latin Quarter and stopped for strange snacks from a bakery. Mum and I tried green dough balls covered in pistachios and Dad had a super sugary cake - it made hid throught hurt from the sweetness. He didn't finish it.
