We had the most amazing day today. Last night we drank way too much so the first part of our morning was a little "hung" but as soon as I tried Leek Quiche I was fine. Funny how food can totally change your perspective. Hmmmm (sidenote: I had fries twice today) Anyway we jumped on the metro which we are pros at and headed to Trocadero, just above the Eiffel tower for a quick photo shoot then jumped back on the hop on hop off tour bus that we purchased yesterday. Today our goal was to hit up the Louve and Notre Dame. We were victorious!!
At the Louve, our main goal was to see Monna herself but we ended up wandering around in awe. Please note that all these pictures are "self portraits" You have to look pretty close but there is Monna in the background in all her glory.
After we left the Louve we went to Notre Dame to see the inside. It is absoloutely beautiful and we just sat inside in awe of it forever. Kristy wanted to know if they do weddings... My guess is no. We went outside and got french bread sandwiches and sat on a cute little side street. We got back on the bus and went to get on a boat tour. In theory this was a great idea because we thought it would be so fun to get on a boat and just float around taking in the sights, but again we were so tired that we just sat in silence looking out the window. It was still very beautiful.
We made it back to the Eiffel tower just in time to see the lights come on. It was so pretty. First they just turn on regular lights then they turn on sparklers. We were in the right place at the right time because apparently the sparking lights are only on fir like five minutes. We were locked and loaded and ready with all cameras. Go US! (anther sidenote we have been getting some excellent footage via video camera!)
Well the computer just gave me my five minute warning. We leave for Amsterdam in the morning. Miss you all!
Yeah!! Paris is so amazing! Glad you had a good day. Shea- the second pic down totally makes me think of "David watch your privates!" Do you remember that. The things that become entertaining when waiting in line to a museum. I'm so glad you guys are enjoying yourselves. Keep the pics coming, so fun to see!
