Only 1 Day Left!!

Today began a little later than expected, rolling out of bed about 9am we were on the metro toward Sacre Coeur at about 10. We exited the metro at what we thought was the closest stop to Sacre Coeur but ended up hiking up about 200 stairs before it came into sight. Once we arrived, we stopped for a short while to take some photos and enjoy the view of the city below. The stained glass windows inside Sacre Coeur are far more beautiful than words can describe. Unfortunately, we were unable to photograph inside the church but I am sure photos can be found on the web. To avoid descending the area on steps, we walked through the artsy area of Montmarte and down its winding streets. Just as we were about to hop back on the metro, we spotted the famous Moulin Rouge and decided to walk a bit further for a better view. Wow, the stores along that street!!! It has got to be the street in Paris with the most Xs on it ;-)

This afternoon Matt and I met with Miguel, our wedding planner. We have been working with him online for months now so it was wonderful to finally meet him in person. After finalizing some details for the wedding day, we met back up with Lucia and Shane and headed out. Our evening began with a trip to Sephora as I was in need of some cosmetics for the wedding. You are probably thinking, “why did you wait til the last minute”, right? Well I didn’t! Actually, I purchased everything I would need for the day almost a month ago and being afraid of my checked-in baggage getting lost, I carried it on the plane with me. Somehow during our flight from Chicago to Paris, the bag of makeup fell out of our carry-on. We didn’t realize what had happened until we checked into the hotel... Yep, a little upset indeed, but it gets better… After visiting Sephora and picking up the things I need for tomorrow, we went to dinner at the Hard Rock café. Matt picked up a mug to bring back with us and I placed my Sephora bag inside. After dinner we decided it was late and that we should head back to the hotel. The bag came along but only for a short while. It was at our last stop that we both realized I was not carrying the Hard Rock bag. Matt believed I had placed my makeup inside my purse and shrugged as though it was not a big deal. Need I say more? We have searched and there is another Sephora around the corner near the florist we will visit in the morning, it opens at 10am, the wedding photographer arrives at noon. Nothing like pushing it til the last minute! ‘Til tomorrow.
