Monica and I started our day off with a great tour of Montmartre, a hill in the north of Paris. It is a cute town with narrow cobblestone streets and small antiquated houses. It was once home to may famous artists such as Monet and van Gogh. It is also the site of famous movies such as Amélie. The tour ended at Sacré-Coeur, located at the highest point of Montmartre. While it is a huge tourist attraction and was flooded with people, it was a sight to see! We shopped around in the area for a bit and got some delicious macaroons and chocolate and then headed back to La Cité. We hung out for a bit then headed to Place Denfert-Rochereau to buy some fresh foods for dinner. After dinner we met up with Monica's friends who are also visiting Paris for the weekend and saw La Tour Eiffel lit up and took a ride on La Grande Roue de Paris—the huge ferris wheel at Place de la Concorde. We then walked up the Champs-Élysées and saw the Arc. It was a bit chilly this morning, but we finally saw the sun today! I guess I shouldn't be complaining, though...Nemo could be here!
