I spent a little time wandering around on my own and got to see some of the sights. I loved the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Pyramid, but my favourite places I don't have pics of. We sat on the grass in a park near the Latin Quarter, next to a fountain. I loved it there. I went to the parts of the city that are inhabited mostly by immigrants, and walking down the street seeing people from all different countries, shops with stuff from everywhere, cuisine of all different countries... it was so cool. I didn't realise how much I missed that diversity in Istanbul. I got used to everyone around me being Turkish! That first day, wandering around, buying shampoo in a store with Black beauty products, visiting a restaurant and getting the Turks to help me because my French was awful! Seeing the market, eating in an Algerian Restaurant.... that's the Paris I came here for. I had a wonderful trip. Click on the pics and take a look at my Flickr Album.
