København



København
Copenhagen

Just a bar but I thought the building was very cool

Canal (pretty sure we have this in a puzzle)

Canal

more of the Canal

already starting to decorate for Christmas!!

My Mom would love all the outdoor cafes in Copenhagen - they all provide fleece blankets with your chairs in addition to heat lamps overhead. You'll never be cold eating again!

My Det Kolde Bord or Smörgåsbord at lunch. (fromt left to right) Curry chicken salad, a cured piece of Danish pork, friend cod of some sort all on top of pieces of traditional Danish rye bread. Very very delicious!

Danish Apple Cider (don't let the taste fool you! it is about 5% alc! small children would never be able to tell)

Square in Copenhagen

One of the many cool towers in Copenhagen



more canal



I have never been to a store that has sold more bizarre items.

The Little Mermaid





Sensation White!!

Back in Paris



Back in Paris



Actually the most incredible place 


Caramel Selée (Salted Caramel), Framboise (Raspberry), Chocolat, Praline, Vanille, Chocolate Amer (Bitter Chocolate) and Cafe (Coffee) Macaroons


My metro stop for school at Denfert-Rochereau 

Just my morning metro ride view (Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower and in there somewhere)

Berthillon!! (Caramel Selée and Pistache!)

Jardin des Tuileries 

Sephora Headquarters - pretty sure just the perfume section is twice the size of the KOP location

beautiful courtyard in the middle of the Marais (one of the oldiest quartiers)

Medieval Building in Marais circa 1550s

Hôtel de Cluny


Louvre

Shakespeare and Company

Pont de l'Archevêché
(the tradition is to attach a lock representing eternal love followed by tossing the key into the Seine)



view from Parc Belleville (in the northern part of the 11th) the highest point of the city. The best view of Sacre Coeur can be seen here on a clear day. This picture gives a really good perspective on how huge Paris truly is - the Eiffel Tower is on the complete opposite side of the city.
