Lotus Moment: Classique Metro

Why This Is Awesome: For my actual birthday during my trip to Paris, I decided to spend the day in Montmartre. Although it was a drizzling overcast afternoon, I enjoyed a lovely foodie-focused walking tour and thigh-burning hike up to Sacré-Coeur.

It's not every day you get a chance to hear a live string orchestra play Pachelbel and Mozart as you move along your commute.
