DEC 12 -16 paris by myself photos
Today I went to Versailles, oh my. OH MY.
Wait until my photos come out. It is magnificence. I saw where 19 royal children were born, Marie Antoinettes room, I saw the Hall Of Mirrors, oh my. The Gardens? Forget about it! Too much, luxury and gold and art. Kings palace and I heard stories of court and pleasure.
I bought a special necklace there, its pretty.
I want to go to Musee D’Orsay. After 1850 it takes up where the Louvre left off.
I saw The Statue of Liberty in some bridge on the RER train. Yes I did, the statue of Liberty in Päris!
I take a lot of photos and just walk around. I don’t talk to anybody.
I want to get into art again, I want to get into something, that can occupy my time. Reading maybe.
With My sony reader I see a book I like and download it, so that saves me clutter and money.
I want to read about Maria Antoinette now that I have been to her house.
I ate avocados, dates and grapes. Some cacao nibs with the dates. Curbs appetite.
I saw where everyone was beheaded in Paris like Kings and Queens and common criminals, in the Place du Concorde.
I have this strange melon in my room, it smells delish.
Every boulevard is packed and every side street is packed and I see so much.
I went into a gourmet store and almost bought a heart shaped corer, heart shaped melon baller and all these molds , I guess for making chocolates, but I do not need them LOL
Just had an avocado. People hand me grapes in the streets to buy their fruit.
I have blisters on the sides of my ankle, I need to buy Ugg like boots or slippers, LOL; I want to be comfortable.
I walked so much and guess where I had some hot water? STARBUCKS? Is that funny?
I don’t like waiters and they flirt with me or make me feel they are watching me and I just wanna sit somwhere in a sofa and breathe and write to myself. Some girls were eyeing me in there or maybe I was. I was just looking.
My fruitarian friend from Spain has been fruitarian for fifteen years, cool. He started talking to me about Krishna, but I am Catholic and it is all so strange to me that stuff. I am scared of it.

Today I went to morning Mass in some church in The Marais Quartier. It was all in French and the priest was cute, he said” C’est la Corps de Crist ” when I got communion.
Being a fruitarian is hard with that, because the communion is not fruit . But I felt I had to take it, you know to be pure and good. It is supposed to be raw bread like Jesus wanted it, but its not.
The church was built in 1580 and all blackened and all stone. Called St. Louis I think. There are some devout people in france.
I saw a free museum to DIE for. Called Musee de Carnavalet, I think. It is sooo exciting. SO!!! It is the history of France and has a billion rooms all decorated in the style of the day for each important time. Oh it was so special, very, very sacred place. Everything I always wanted to see in Paris is there. I am a history lover.

I took photos of every room. To study and draw cartoon characters in, because its all old and cool. Wallpaper on ceilings, gold doors and fancy furniture. I have never seen more tea sets in my life!!
It has a Bastille room with artifacts and paintings and flags and guns. It even has the cell Marie Antoinette was in. Oh and all the Kings stuff too.
There was a GUERRE room all this war stuff of France. A Napoleon room with his every day Toilette stuff.
Another FREE Museum which I loved was Maison de Victor Hugo. He had alot of fancy stuff. He had an Oriental room too and all these artworks and stuff. He lived in Place des Vosges.
I could not find Picasso Museum.
All I ate was dates and cacao beans, melon, figs and a persimmon.
Now I am in Montmartre. Wanted to say Hi to friends in the Montmartre Cemetary, but its so nice here I may walk around and get some Orange Presse and some Cerises.
Oh there is also a free DOISENEAU exhibit at the Hotel de Ville which is a fancy place downtown by me. He was a famous photographer of Paris a long time ago. When I go home I might stop by.

I walked from Montmartre to here, by Concorde. A long walk.
But every street is filled with the best of things and the hottest staues and fountains and huge buildings over the top in everything all lit up and fancy hotels and shops.
I saw the Dali mueum but didn’t go. 300 of his works there and it was free I think.
I have been on my feet since eight am and I only stopped to use the internet twice.
I got an avocado and a Mango to eat.
Some guy followed me and it got scary. Manuel from Bretagne. He wanted to buy me a drink and I made the mistake of letting him off nicely. It was scary. I turned up my IPOD nano as he followed me begging. He did not go away for a long time.
I saw so many nice things. I want the best for me. I am in the best city in the world. It feels like it. I feel
so much love here. I lie alone in bed and sleep so well. I smell all the smells and see all the clothes and everything is such good quality.
all lit up .
If everything is me here, I want to be in that building across from the Hotel De Ville. It’s so GRAND.
And there are cops that look like pink panther cops everywhere. Cute and the Gendarmies are hot too. They stand in these heated glass cages.
I see the strangest foods. Terrines and gelled aspic looking loafs. Lots of diseased liver , foie gras, and canard and the big thing here is Panini.

I am a happy girl eating red lychees.
I saw a famous person yesterday and took his picture. He was eating at a restaurant and was waving at a crowd outside who were cheering and photographing him; I think he may be one of their big actors but I do not know. I took a photo.
This morning I went to see Napoleon’s tomb at Les Invalides. I have had the hots for him since Elementary school, what little girl doesn’t ?
Anyways it was not open yet and I went to the Eiffel tower 
and hung out for a few good hours. I went to the top. It symbolized alot for me being there. There is also a restaurant there , Altitude 95, and I sat at the bar drinking Vervaine tea for a long time and writing furiously in my notebook, pausing to look at Paris.
I was gonna see the Musee D’Orsay but I passed a GRAND building, oh My It was so amazing all in the Art Deco style inside too.
It was called the Grand Palais.
There was an exhibition on an ancient Egypt Temple that was found underwater, and I got a college education.
I learned about I spent a good three hours listening to the audio tour and when it was over each time it said to press the star for more info. I did for every exhibit.
It was AMAZING, Called
Here are some internet info
http://www.tresors-engloutis-degypte.fr/Website.aspx?l=2
AMAZING, Life changing for sure, it brought old gods to life and I got to see all these two thousand year old artifacts that are priceless.
I also got to eat an avocado, a yummy mango that tastes like heaven and ……………….. I bought a Mona Lisa, she is also called LA JACONDE plate to eat it off of!
//
I just went to a real NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL Mass. It was over fast and there was alot of frankinscense. The choir was nice and the organ was too loud and dramatic but fun.
You could buy Swarovski rosaries there!
You know the one the Hunchback of Notre Dame was written about, the one where all the famous gargoyle photographs are taken, where Napoleon queened Josephine in the famous painting I saw in the Louvre and a copy in Versailles. http://wwwedu.ge.ch/po/stael/images/napoleon.jpg
It used to be covered in gold before the revolution, people tore it down.
I was also reading about Maria Antoinette. She was forced to live in the Tuileries building before people tore it down and killed all the Swiss Guards and a young Napoleon described the whole mob scene where a princess was beheaded and head put on a spike.
I also went to buy BALLET tickets at the OPERA .
http://www.planetware.com/i/photo/opera-house-paris-propr.jpg
ALL BALLETS SOLD OUT except for the Bastille Ballet, but who wants to go there?
I was soooooooo bummed, but it is a good excuse to come back to Paris with a love of my life to see the real Paris Ballet.
SOOO I went to The Champs Elysees, the most famous street in the world and read my book, while the most exotic people walked by.
I saw a family all clad in floor length fur coats , Mother and Father’s were MATCHING, lol that looked like a hundred bob cats were skinned. Imagine that! I saw it. Only on that street, nowhere else.
I also saw the Theatre MOGADOR where the famous BELLE OTERO danced . She was Collette’s friend, the author.
I bought this book and am reading it
http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/1905043082.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V38477547_.jpg
Did you know the King LOUIS AUGUSTE, had phymosis? That is where the foreskin of his penis cannot retract so arousal is impossible or painful? LOL No wonder!
I aslo walked by RUDOLF NUREYEV’S house too. Where he used to live.
I ate lychees, dates with cacao bean,Sapote, avocados and orange. I had some fresh squeezed OJ in STARBUCKS that looked like a palace inside!
I have a surprise for tomorrow, I am going somewhere really regal and special. Oh I was reading this book TALK TO THE SNAIL http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/x2/x13635.jpg
and it said ône of the things to say that will piss off french people is to tell them you think the cover of the book you are looking at has fallen off. I laughed so hard. All the french covers here are blank! Well the real French ones.
Also where that baguette you eat has been before it gets to your table. But I do not eat bread but it was funny
lol

I just bought a 6 euro mango. Wow, That is alot of money for a mango, but it is soo good. Lychees and avocados on the menu.
I was gonna go to the Country , to Compeigne, to the Royal Chateau there, or Fountainebleu or another one that was built in 1400’s as a hunting lodge for kings. Its 35 min train ride from Paris.
But I did nothing today. Pule and whine. GLOOM and DOOM. I walked all the way to Gare du Nord and cried
I
I like being alone and sad today and its raining so I can sit in my hotel room and cry, in Paris.
