"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."-Ernest Hemingway
Recently, I have gotten back the 'lets explore Paris' feeling and have done a few touristy things to compensate for my lack of earlier effort. My first stops were really hard. I had to sit in a cafe and eat cheese and drink coffee and wine while writing in my journal and enjoying friends' company.Still surprised I survived. I know you're wondering how and why is that exploring Paris, right? Well my friends, these two cafes that I went to are famous for hosting some of the world's most intellectual (which beats doing homework at my apartment).
Les Deux Magots hosted Oscar Wilde, Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Verlaine, and of course, Ernest Hemingway.
Cafe de Flore, next door, hosted Jean Paul Sartre, Picasso, and Apollinaire
The next stop on my tour de Paris were the catacombs in the 14th arrondisement. We walked down stairs for about 15 minutes until we reached the caves. The tour takes you through underground tunnels lined with skulls and bones 10 feet deep. The cherry on top was the water dripping from the ceiling on us ha. I guess thats what you get for disturbing the dead.
The last, but not least, stop on my journey was the France v. Croatia football game at Stade de France. The game was great, especially because 1. the Croatian fans started a fire directly below us and 2. Martin Solveig filmed his music video for "Ready to go" during halftime.
