i "heart" french macarons

Although these macarons are not LADUREE I can still enjoy French macarons in the States from Paulette: 

  

 

 

 

My sister spoiled me in June for my birthday and bought me a Paulette Macaron Birthday Cake.

paris - day 2

I'm very behind in blogging - especially about my trip to Paris in April.  (Can't believe it's already August).  Anyway I'm catching up now.  I'm home sick w/ a cold and will probably call in sick tomorrow.

More on Paris:

 View from the top of Notre Dame. 

We also went to the David LaChapelle exhibit at the Monnaie de Paris. 

 The Musee D'Orsay was crowded and my sister and cousin didn't have their Paris Museum Pass  yet, which I highly recommend you get and which helps in bypassing the very long lines. So we went to the Musee Rodin.

  Rodin's signature.

 The Thinker.

  Napoleon's Tomb at the Army Museum.

Anne, my sister, and cousin in the middle so you can see how big the tomb is.

La Tour Eiffel...

 

We walked so much on Day 2... from the Notre Dame, along the Seine River, to the Paris Mint, to the Rodin Museum, to the Army Museum, and then finally to the Eiffel Tower.  After that it was such a treat to ride in a taxi back to our hotel.
