BALLET!

Tonight I went to the ballet at the extremely gorgeous Palais Garnier. The ballet was called Le Parc, and it takes place in one day in a French style garden in the 1700's. A man and women meet and fall in love- is basically the theme of the ballet. The choreography was really good with some great funny moments. For example, at one point the women wants the man to back off, but instead of pushing him with her hands, she bops him in the chest with her head! Anyways, pictures are better than words for this one.

Palais Garnier and its ceiling painted by my very favoritest CHAGALL.
A close up of the ceiling-- the eiffel tower!

However, on a very disturbing side note, I saw the most painful tattoo of my life. Some girl had, along the whole upper length of her arm, tattooed Marie-Antoinette saying "Let them eat cake". That is a french major gone bad. (ok and i just hate tattoos).
