Today we all woke up a little late. We ate breakfast in our apartment (eggs, croissants, fruit). Then we went to the Jacquemart-André Museum. It is a museum that showcases the lavish home of a wealthy, art-loving, 19th-century Parisian couple. It's really impressive that they spent their lives and fortunes designing, building, and then decorating this mansion. I wasn't able to take any pictures but here is one from the outside.
Then we walked over to the Arc de Triomphe and took some pictures (along with many other tourists). We walked along the Champs-Elysées and window shopped. Since we did this on New Years many stores were closed. It was so cold outside! We got to the end and saw a statue of Charles De Gaulle and the Place de la Concorde. We took the subway back to the apartment.

I'm kind of a little insanely jealous. I've never been anywhere in Europe! Bahhh! The museums and paintings look extraordinary!
