My Bus Ride to the Hotel

I was so lucky to run into the best concierge in the world! I got to the station in Paris and didn't have a single Euro. I had an address to the Hotel but had nothing close to a map or a knowledge of how to navigate the streets in Paris. I was just planning to pay for a taxi but the sweet concierge printed me a map of exactly how to get to the hotel to meet my Study Abroad group and told me where to get my euros, which bus to take and what stop to get off. What a stud. He saved me a good 20€.


Along the way, I saw some awesome sights, though I'm not sure what most of them are... but they were sweet. I love all the old architecture. Even the train station is beautiful. This is the facade of it.
The city is full of so many beautiful details!


This was a big, cool, important building.We designers have gotta love Baccarat, it's such good stuff!
This is one of many Arch de Triumph's I saw in Europe. Who knows which one is the real one but I saw many like this. Cool random architecture.
This is one of the few real obelisks in the world. I believe there are something like 8 and although many of them came from Egypt, nearly all of them are in other parts of the world.
