Olivia, Clara and I joined the Oohh Laaa Laaa Ladies for a filles jour. We drove to the closest metro stop in Paris and bought a day pass. The metro took us all over town. We started at the flea market. There were so many treasures, trinkets and junk it made our hearts leap! It was lunch by the time we finished shopping so we headed for the Champs Elysses. We had heard that Pauls Bakery was the best and it was! Somehow we managed to get the only table in the bakery. The raspberry tart was so delicious it's making my mouth water just thinking about it. 
With our tummies full we marched right up the street to the Arc de Triumph. It was a clear day and the view was awesome. Olivia had been looking forward to seeing the round about at the base of the Arc. Apparently it is the largest one in France with 10 different entrances. Traffic was crazy. Kind of like this picture that I can't seem to manipulate in the right direction. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this problem?
Christmas trees, lights and decorations adorned the streets of Paris. We were there on the 2nd of December. However, just like America they have had Christmas items in the stores since October. It was wonderful to get in the Christmas spirit with my sister. Olivia and Clara were such troopers on our filles jour. They didn't complain once and believe me we walked a hundred miles that day. I guess it just goes to show that sisters love being together!
