4e Arrt.

            I’m going to start this blog off with something sweet… really sweet! Amorino Gelato is world famous for not only the most delicious frozen desert but also the most beautiful! The only thing a girl would like getting more than a dozen roses is a dozen Amorino Ice-cream roses! We waited till Sierras last day in Paris before we indulged, and boy was it worth it.



The fourth arrondissement has a lot to offer, even besides the ice-cream. One of my very favorite monuments is in this district; The Notre Dame! The Notre Dame is my favorite for a couple reasons. Firstly, it’s absolutely stunning. The detail in the architecture is mind-blowing perfection. I can’t look at it without my jaw dropping. It will never cease to amaze me how humans made these unbelievable structures with their bare hands hundreds of years ago. The second reason I love the Notre Dame, is because a gargoyle pooped on Mckinley. We were waiting in line to go up the tower when something fell from the sky and landed right on Mckinley's head! It cracked all over her and the remains were all over her and the ground. It looked like a broken egg with a half born embryo of blood, yolk, and shell. I’m not sure what she did to deserve it, but the Gargoyles were mad for some reason, and they rained baby pigeon embryo down on her for it. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life.
            On our way to the Notre Dame, we came out of the metro stop and found a stunning fountain, the Saint Jacques Fontaine. We each took our turn throwing a coin into the fountain over our shoulders and making wishes! (Maybe I wished for Mckinley to get pooped on by a Gargoyle… but even I am not that creative. That was sheerly the heavens smiling down on us for our amusement and a good story for Kinley.)
            One of my very favorite stores is also in this district, The Vintage Clothing Store. One of MANY, but it’s a diamond in the rough, just like all of the clothes inside of it! The first time in there we found almost one hundred pairs of old Birkenstocks in all shapes and sizes for all under 50€. Sierra bought three pairs all for under 100€! The grocery stores around are similarly cheap, we found milk for 1.38€, eggs for 3.45€ and steak for 21.90€/kg.  We found the St. Merry Hotel for 170€ a night, a decent price for a great location.
