What an amazing day. I started off with the Louvre. Saw the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus De Milo. Beautiful! I see how people can spend hours on end there. Just in the Denon wing the paintings are so vivid and the depth of field and action are breathtaking. I took photos of the inverted pyramid meeting the chalice. KNEEL BEFORE HER, SHE LIES BENEATH THE ROSE!!!! Gosh, it made me tear up. They have army/special service troops who patrol the streets with semi-automatic rifles. SCARY
Next we visited the bridge of love where couples sign locks and then affix them to the bridge and throw the key into the Seine to signify undying love. I didn’t buy a lock. It’s just me. I’m single. Stop three was Notre Dame. I liked the architecture of this church more than Westminster Abbey. It was darker and colder. Apparently the church is celebrating 850 years. We are lunch at some restaurant right next to Notre Dame. I had a croque monsieur (ham sandwich) and hot wine. THE WINE IS THE SHIT! It’s a red wine with oranges in it. Reminds me of sangria. I will definitely try it again. Next we went to the Pantheon. Really cool piece of architecture in the heart of the universities . There were a lot of young people out and about. We walked to Saint Sulpice next. I stopped and got some macaroons. Delicious! I had one caramel and one praline from Dalloyau. We walked across the Luxembourg Gardens on our way there. It has to be breathtaking in the summer. The green spaces/parks/gardens in Europe are so nice. Saint Sulpice was nice and dark. Reminds me of gothic stuff. I saw some of the line, but not the gold arago line. After that we went back to the meet up point at musee d’orsay. I took a short reprieve at the hotel then went out to see MLK Park. Nothing to write home. It looks like a soggy, cold mess.
Went to Sacre Coeur for dinner. I tried escargot. It’s sort of chewy w/ garlic and butter seasoning. Had pizza with a raw, half cooked egg on top. The waiter was cute. A band set up and started playing Parisian jazz. Got lost on those winding dark cobble stoned streets trying to find the Moulin Rouge/O’Sullivans to meet the group. 
As soon as we walked in they were playing American rap! YAY! Some dude who looks like Mr. Bean danced with me. He had rhythm, but every time he brought me near it seemed like he was going to head butt me. I had a ball kicking it with Sara, Kim, Nicole and Taylor. Took a blow job shot. HILARIOUS! I’m getting sleepy and am ready to eat. They played Snoop and Pac songs. I forgot I was in France. It’s funny seeing French white people dance to damn near hardcore Hip Hop. Apparently 1:30am is when the black dudes come to the lounge. O’Sullivans is cool. The DJ has potential, but he keeps playing Jersey Shore-like songs. He played Every Little Thing I Do by Soul 4 Real and Who Do You Love by LL.
Somebody up in here is musty as an ox. Oh shit, they played Pony by Ginuwine and now its 2:15am they are playing Niggas in Paris. I really can’t dignify that song too much. I was looking at the white folks lips and waiting on them to say the N word. Danced with some black dude named Dame (Dim). He was skinny as a bean pole and black black. Beautiful skin! His skin tone reminds me of Acerola from City of Men. We exchanged info. He was very gentle and affectionate. I kissed an African!!! He had soft lips. He is a happy dancer and everything isn’t a bump and grind. We had a major language barrier, but it’ll be fun to get to know someone from another country. He knew all of the lyrics to the English raps sons the DJ played though. If only we could communicate in rap lyrics. LOL.
CabGATE 2013: Nobody knew the address to the hotel, but luckily I had my vouchers with the info on it. I have the info the driver and blonde contiki group chick in the front and it got left in the cab. I was livid! But all is well. The vouchers are not needed to continue the trip. The other two cabs of people got lost because they didn’t have the address.
