significantly larger than i expected. dazzling, really. at the end of a day that included visiting the mosquée de paris, jardin des plantes, louvre, jardin des tuileries, and the obligatory (but delightful) stroll up the champs élysées. it was the perfect way to end an absolutely perfect day in a city you cannot help but fall deeply, madly, in love with. it sounds corny, but i mean it sincerely.
