J'aime Paris

We just spent the last three days in Paris and just got back today. It was beautiful, and so fun. Although London has my heart, Paris is pretty dang amazing. Elisabeth did study abroad in there a few years ago, so she speaks French, loves Paris, and played tour guide. We had a great time, and we're so pooped! Here are some highlight pictures.

The first day we stopped at the Trocedero metro stop, and it had the most amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. We took some pictures there, saw it sparkle that night after our boat ride, and then went up it on Friday.

The Tower lit up at night


It rained a little bit the first night, although the rest of the weather was beautiful and sunny. So we're waiting out the rainstorm under the bridge on the Seine. Angie, Heather, Elisabeth, Me, Coryn, Lauren, and Seth in the front. We had just eaten the best cheese and egg crepes. To die for!

Friday night we went up the Arc de Triomph (I can't spell in French). Napolean sure had a great opinion of himself. It was a great way to to end the evening.

These are the stairs going down the arc. That's Elisabeth in the purple shirt.


Elisabeth and me in front of Notre Dame.


The sunset through the Arc. It was much more dramatic in person :)


Notre Dame. It's probably the most incredible Cathedral that I've ever seen.

It was a great trip--definitely a go for D and A. Don't forget to eat a Napolean.

how fun! Don and I are trying to learn some French so we can atleast begin to attempt to communicate in their native language...we'll see how it goes. It sounds like you are having a great time!
