Falling in love with Paris

It's true about the food... I had the best quiche ever today. It was a simple meal in a simple cafe but it was a piece of light, fluffy heaven.

We spent most of the day at the Musee d'Orsay and peeked into the Louvre. It was absolutely thrilling to see so many great works of art up close and in person. It was pretty much as I expected -- I was blown away. :) What I *did* find surprising today had to do with Paris itself. It's the scale. I knew this city from photos as a beautiful, romantic city -- but I didn't realize how immense all the buildings are. Falling in love here isn't a trivial thing. It's not a charming, quaint love. It's a big, overpowering, over-the-top love. How nice.
