I still can’t get over how much beauty is in Paris. Yesterday we went to the museum d’Orsay and there was just so much to take in. I notice this all around Paris, there is beauty in almost all of the buildings. From a preservation point of view, I know this is all by design, but it is really so interesting to see it in person. All the pictures and videos I had seen from Paris never gave it justice. This is a very special city.

It also strikes me how big everything is, especially the ceilings. You see vaulted ceilings in America, but not as commonly as you do here. It definitely gives you the feeling of being small and in awe of the architecture around you. I love how beautiful the ceilings are. Me, Ellie, and Emma were talking about yesterday how in a lot of these buildings we just wanna lay down on the floors and spend time looking at all the details of the ceilings.
