Today we woke up pretty late again... I went and phoned my parents at about 2 Paris time, 7 Winnipeg time.. we talked for a bit and Sheen jumped in the phone booth and talked to them too.

We eventually went out to look for a used gaming store so we could buy a super nintendo system with super mario world and mario kart however we never found it... we'll obviously go soon with proper directions. We need some sort of gaming console to get us through the rainy Paris nights.

We left that area towards Les Champs Elysees. We picked up some wine along the way... shortly after we passed by the Louvre, definitely an awesome looking building. The Louvre pyramids are amazing... so different from the rest of the building.

We kept walking along the river and ran into an amazing park with long rows of autumn affected trees and stellar parks benches with the most amazing view... we stopped there and drank some wine until we got kicked out due to the closing of the park.

Brandice huffed and puffed but she couldn't get the bottle open

We walked down the rest of the park and enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever experienced; the sky was almost every color you could imagine and in the distance was the Eiffel tower and a few dark purple clouds... We were so in awe of the sunset that we almost got locked inside of the park, thankfully someone kicked us out again.


Towards les Champs Elysees is where we went next. As soon as we set foot on les Champs we saw l'Arc de Triomphe down the road and it ruled. Unfortunately there was some stupid airplane show going on down Champs Elysees so we just hustled our way to the Arc. L'Arc de Triomphe was amazing, it's so large and so detailed. We hung out on a bench while Sheen monkeyed around taking pictures of all the people taking pictures of the giant arch.


We took the metro back home and called it a night.
