Day 2 - Rodin, Cheese, & Celebrity Sightings

Bonjour from Paris!

What an amazing time I'm having, and it's only been 2 days! I don't have a ton of time to write this, so I'll try to hit all the highlights thus far.
As some of you may know, it is impossible for me to nap or sleep sitting up in any capacity, which makes long flights completely miserable. But on Thursday night the impossible happened. I slept for the entire flight. The whole time. I'm still shocked. So, when we arrived in Paris (at the adorable apartment we're renting), after a quick double espresso, we were off and running with little to no jet lag.
We walked to the Seine, freaked out in front of Notre Dame, went to our favorite cafe for late lunch, watched French children (who are better dressed than I am on a good day), got a little lost in the 14th, and had a picnic dinner in our apartment. In the course of all this, we've been speaking a ton of French with pretty good results in that no one has answered us in English yet. Still got it.
We woke up a little late today, got pain au chocolat and more double espresso (Maeve and I enable each other's caffeine addictions), and walked all around the 5th, where the apartment is. We then walked down Rue de Grenelle, a very chic street in the 7th, on our way to the Rodin museum. Walking into a children's clothing store was a man with crazy hair who seemed familiar to me. After a bit of staring, I realized it was Tim Burton around the same time Maeve spotted Helena Bonham Carter. Of course,we went in and pretended to shop while sneaking glances their way. Such a cool celebrity sighting.
Now, we're back in the apartment preparing for dinner at Fish La Boissonerie, which I expect will be predictably amazing.

I didn't know exactly how it would feel to be back, but the only way I can describe it is boundless joy. Paris really just makes me so insanely happy.

Missing all of you. More tomorrow or the next day! Xo.
