La Defense and Around Town

Trying to catch up in chronological order now. My batery charger for some strabge reason disappeared, well actually its not so mysterious because I lost it while moving in/out (one of the many times, I'm an expert on the matter since 2008). Anyways! That's why I have a lot of photos in my camera that can't be uploaded here yet... but I'll try filling the gaps with other people's pictures.

So Yuna was over here last weekend (can you see we're running a guest house? And this is nothing, we have like 34536475857 guests in June). We did so many things, those touristy often times boring annoying ones, but also cool ones. I did have to stay in lines for hours to get into the Louvre (yuck) and the Musee d'Orsay just to stand in crowds while the raging masses try to take pictures with the frames they can recognize. I'm a snob, and hate this kind of things.

Ok now to pretty things. The weather was beautiful, so great... so it was nice walking around, we had a great group of people over for Sunday brunch, we biked, ate ice cream, yummmm....

And another great thing... I finally went to La Defense! Had been wanting to for months, ever since Hjalte and his mom went and told us it was really impressive. We were just talking on the couch Saturday afternoon (Y, B and I) and then decided to head off there and explore what it was all about. We saw the sunset, walked on top of a cemetery and got a view from the arch all the way to the Arc de Triomphe.

Here are some of Yuna's pics from La Defense and her stay in general.


Night walk aroudn Sacre Coeur, a beautiful view.



Walking towards the Louvre, 30 degrees.




Those maddening crowds I mentioned. That was the Mona Lisa bien sur.



Yuna took this shot of the apartment which I really liked.


Bastille Metro.



The Arch of La Defese.



There's a cemetery right below this.



Yeahh
