Paris day two

This morning we woke up weirdly early, had some pain au chocolat, and started our day. Amy has a weird shower like Anna's mom so that's a bummer.
Today we went to the marais area, which is the oldest part of Paris and the Jewish part. We both loved it, it's so pretty. We went to this one park, a cool museum, the Shoah memorial and the centre Pompidou. We ate falafel, which was absolutely amazing. I've had falafel in the us and it has been really bad. Later, we had really expensive ice cream that was totally worth it.
The first cool museum used to be an old hotel and just had cool artifacts and antiques of the marais district.
The Shoah memorial is a memorial for all of the Jews that France deported during world war two. This was kind of cool cause it's really new because the French are just now recognizing that they did this. They only acknowledged the deportation in 1998.
Then we walked around and shopped a bit and went to the centre Pompidou. The museum was closed, but the actual center was really cool and worth going to.
Now we're home and getting ready to go see the dark knight rises tonight!! I'm so excited! I'm scared it's gonna be a letdown though cause everyone's been building it up. It's premiering in Paris tonight on the champs élysées and we will be there!
