So [livejournal.com profile] asteres wants to know something happy about the day of everyone on his friends list. Fine. Don't blame me if it makes you feel depressed.

I found out yesterday about a one-day sale with insanely low fares to London on British Airways, emailed Mom, within four hours, we had tickets for ten days in London in December. And Mom suggested spending a couple of days in Paris this time.

Going abroad twice in six months. I feel so incredibly weird and yet so cosmopolitan at the same time.

Hmmm. In my opinion, avoid the Eiffel Tower. I really like La Defense (although that's more something you see from the freeway), all the new buildings... The metro stations have some gorgeous murals, and I really enjoyed Pere Lachaise Cemetary (Where Jim Morrison is buried, but he's NOT the best part). In fact, you could spend a week there ALONE.
Also I wanted to see the catacombs, but apparently they have specific hours.
Yes, the entire city is picturesque in different ways.
OH and the Luxembourg Gardens are pretty sweet, as well.
