The Happiest Place on Earth!

All right so after having been in Paris for about three weeks and not really doing many touristy things at all, I took the plunge and went to Disneyland Paris. (Actually though it's probably not a tourist spot at all but more for les enfants) Ok, I've been to the D'orsay, but only because I love it and it was top priority for me to go there and see the Luncheon painting of Manet that so moved me when I was seventeen the last time I was there. And after going to the D'orsay I did go to Monmartre to see the sunset from the top, it seemed an apropos thing to do after looking at all of the Toulouse Lautrec paintings, of course he and the women who danced at the Moulin Rouge could have never anticipated that it would become the Las Vegas/ Disneyland/ commericalized tourist destination that it is today, but still it is a beautiful spot in Paris regardless. But back to the fact that I went to Euro Disney... I haven't been to Disneyland since I was sixteen for an art history project in high school and this time round I have to say that there was something fantastic about being there. Aside from the fact that in some way it completely relates to my project on women regarding fairytales etc... there is something about this fake world that you enter into that all started from one very simple mouse that makes you want to skip around and feel like a kid again. It is truly a happy place, at least it was for me and Caroline who did every single ride, thanks to the fastpass and that we were there on a wednesday. Yes I am in Paris and there is beauty all around and so many beyond cultural things to do that I haven't yet done, it may seems silly to go to Disneyland and it was but at the same time it was just great. I've of course got a list of all the things I want to do going, but I am here for two more months and I feel no rush to go to the Louvre yet as I know I will make it there. More so, I am on the hunt for fantastic restaurants of which there are many and as I figure out the streets of Paris and get more acclimated to the menu and actually speaking full complete sentences in French, I find that each day here gets better and better. But I know what you must be thinking though, really aug Disneyland?!?!? All I have to say is just watch the Eurodisney fabulousness video I shot and you will see why...and clearly it's a small world after all.
