Well we arrived here Paris
without any problems.
Over the past three days we have been here I have seen
entirely different world. It is really awe inspiring
and eye opening. The first day we arrived we were hot and
very sticky from our travels. We just went out to dine at a
sidewalk cafe and then walked around for a bit before
heading back to the hotel and crashing.
The second day was very hot (90+) it was
an awesome adventure. We
went to the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa among and the Venus
de Milo (among many MANY
other things). We then walked through the garden and up the
equivalent of NYC's Broadway
to the oblisque
where many famous people we executed
during the revolution and to Napolean's
arch. We hopped on the Metro and headed over to the Eiffel
tower. The view was absolutely
breathtaking. it was very cool to be able to see everything
that we had seen on foot from so far above.
On the second day we went to Notre Dame.
Then headed over to the Luxembourg
gardens and had a picnic lunch in the gardens. We went to
the Pantheon (where Napoleon
was buried) and then headed to Monmatre
to the Moulin Rouge. Both
of us did a bit of dancing outside but were very surprised
how small it really is.
Today we went to the Catacombs
where millions of people are buried which was rather mind
boggling. They ran out of
cemetery room so they dug
up all of the cemeteries
and buried the people in a old quarry. We then headed back
to Monmarte to the
Basilica before having a lazy day spent at outdoor cafes
enjoying the scene.
And tomorrow we head to Brussels at 11am...
