The slightly not exciting yet still exciting month of May

Since May had no holidays and school was finishing up I didn't go see any countries just stayed and enjoyed my last full month in Paris.

A friend I met here in Paris got married and I got invited to her wedding. It was held in the mayor's office of the 13th arrondissement and the deputy mayor did the ceremony. In France, marriages are matters of the state and not a religious thing so if you want to get married in a church you can but you have to get married in the mayor's office first or the marriage isn't valid.

Katie and Martin! They were so cute and the ceremony was quick (only 15 minutes) and then we went and had the reception at his parents apartment. She is American from Colorado so this is part one of their two part wedding.

When I was walking around I found this display and totally thought it was the tigers logo lol it wasn't when you get close but it had me fooled.

For May 8th aka Victory day aka the day they remember the end of WWII, there was a ceremony in town where the mayor spoke and they had the local school band come out and play the national anthem. It was also a public holiday so no school!

May 8th: Me and a friend found this coffee shop, talk about the biggest cafe I had ever had in Paris.

Near Notre Dame on May 15th, there was a Bread Festival where local bakers from outside of Paris came in and showed how they made their pastries and gave classes. The best part was the free samples!! I went in twice when it was in for the weekend. Some good good bread!

This is a band and also the upstairs of Starbucks. Starbucks brings in bands in Paris!

May 16th: This bar was the most interesting thing ever. Its called the last bar before the end of the world. Every room was decorated in a different type of alien space ship. It was the coolest thing! They served no food or snacks though but they had the best beer!

May16th: This is the grossest, most american burger I could find in Paris. It was delicious and I enjoyed every bite!! I was with my friend from England, Harriott, at the time before we went to see a night show. She was laughing the whole time because I was so in love with how gross and delicious this burger was!

So that night, May 16th, Harriott and I went to go see La Nuit Aux Invalides. It was a night show that the tomb of Napoleon which is also the army museum puts on every year. They display a light show off the building on the inner courtyard. It was a mini French history lesson off a historical building. Talk about fantastic!
