Happy belated Valentine's Day and birthday to my Dad!
Nothing too exciting to report from this past week. Last weekend I climbed the Arc de Triomphe and went to the Louvre...so I completed my sightseeing goals for last week, but forgot to set some new ones for this week. I haven't seen anything epic this week, but I did get very familiar with the OFII (Office Français d'Immigration et Integration) office. From what I understand, when you have a long stay visa (more than 3 months), you have to complete a medical exam with the French government. I had my appointment on Monday morning, but forgot to bring my passport photo to complete my paperwork so I had to go back Wednesday and Thursday to finish the whole process...ugh. It was my fault for forgetting the picture, but it was still frustrating.
I don't have too much to say about the Arc de Triomphe or the Louvre, but I have some cool pictures.
Arc de Triomphe first:
So many stairs!
Upstairs they have a live feed of what's going on the ground underneath the arc...kinda creepy.
Construction...beautiful.
Ha ha this is not the Arc de Triomphe, but you can see it from the top.
Ok, now on to the Louvre. I have an absolutely ridiculous number of pictures from the Louvre and we only saw like 1/16 of it...insane. I'll just include some of my favorites, but you can check out my facebook for the rest of the pictures.
Yes, please.
I had to take a picture of the butterfly.
Crown Jewels
Winged Victory (Victoire de Samothrace)
Super cool floor in one of the galleries.
Everyone wants to see the Mona Lisa...
I'll definitely be going back to the Louvre lots of times!
I had an awesome weekend and I'll be writing about it tomorrow (hopefully). Stay tuned!
