The City of Lights...Right??

Ahhh, Paris. 

The city of lights, the city of love. They say nothing is more romantic than walking through the streets of this timeless town, eating a baguette, wearing a beret, and holding your loved one close. 

Um, I don`t know what kind of Paris was just described, becuase that was not the Paris I visited. 

The one I saw was just as beautiful, but there were sure a lot more stairs. 

Paris was, well, so Parisian. Everything was so classy and romantic, that the city can put you in a little trance. 

When I was last in Paris six years ago, I remembred that we climbed a lot of steps. So this time, I decided to count and write down every long set we climbed or decsended. You want the final result? 

 86 (Sacre Coeur)

147 (Sacre Coeur)

94 (Monmatre)

513 (this was 57 strairs every day to get to our hotel room, so if you say i went up and down about 9 times, 513 is the result)

670 (Eiffel Tower)

67 (???)

Now if you add in 500 stairs counting the numerous times we took the subway, you get a grand total of.....

2077

I think my legs have aquired some sort of super strength now. 

Following the advice of my sister, I also counted the pharmacies, and found 47. Dude.

But anyways, Paris was great aside from all the stairs. We visited the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, the Monmatre, the botannical gardens, the Museè D`Orsay, the Centre Pompidou, and tons of great shops and bakeries. Maybe all those stairs.

Brugge tomorrow!!
