Bonjour, Soleil!!

Without a doubt, today was the most beautiful weather I have seen in Paris to date. It was sunny all day, did not rain once, and was so warm that you didn't even need a scarf! Of course, it's Paris, so everyone wore scarves anyways.

Today was also filled with random adventures, which can be summarized by the following photos:

A behind-the-scenes tour at L'Opera Bastille, which is the more modern of the two opera houses in Paris. It is also the largest in the world. (oooh.) This is the statues that was a gift to the government that no one wanted, but they had to put it somewhere, so now its at the Opera Bastille. Cute.
Operation move-abby-and-christie-out, and celebratory lunch at Breakfast in America. We ate cheeseburgers!!!!!! It was a delicious celebration indeed.
Climbing to the top of l'Arc de Triomph (all 294 stairs) and seeing my favorite landmark (Sacre-Coeur) on the horizon.

All in all, in was a fairly glorious day. I also meandered about lot and took photos of the small markets and floral shops I saw...so there you go. Everyday life in Paris!
