Paris!

So today is our first day in Paris! (i'm a little late on the posting but you'll have to excuse my lack of Internet). The first thing we did was visit the Louvre. We thought it was amazing and really big. Since we haven't seen great weather yet, after a couple of hours we got tempted by sunshine outside in the courtyard.

It was so nice out that we decided to go for a walk and get gelato, and in the process we stumbled upon heaven. Here, they call it Luxembourg gardens. We sat in the park/gardens for hours. The greenery, flowers, and pond were all gorgeous. You could rent out mini sailboats to sail in the fountain, and we watched them all day. Note the palm trees lining the garden and fountain. Here are a few pics from the day:
