Sunday, the 27th, Autumn and I decided to visit the Sacre Coeur, an exquisete chapel set on the highest geological point in Paris. Nermine had recommended us visiting the church, and I must say the trip was satisfactory. It was amusing, there was the option of taking a cable car up the 'hill' to the Sacre Coeur. Being from Tennessee, the 'hill' was nothing out of the ordinary, and was easy to transverse.

I said it was easy to transverse...that is after being drawn into yet another tourist trap. On this day, on the stairs of this cathedrial, Autumn and I were each married.
You should have heard mom's reaction when I told her that, haha. Two Senagalian (I'm not 100% sure how to spell that.) boys approached Autumn and myself and wrapped some colorful string around our fingers. Whist creating a bracelet, they engaged us in conversation about where we are from, what we study, ect. After our bracelets were finished, they told us the bracelets mean that we are now married to them and have to take them back to America once we leave France. It was quite amusing.
The rest of the day was not as eventful, but of course it was fun. We walked quite a bit up a canal where the local's enjoy relaxing on Sundays, and finished the evening off with Chinese & Tai food.
