Paris, je t’aime!

We're in Paris! I've been looking forward to this city more than any other on the itinerary, and it's fantastic to be here at last! We arrived on Friday after a long day on the bus. We've been going nonstop ever since, and it's been wonderful! Highlights include:
  • a nighttime sightseeing cruise on the Seine River
  • a day at the Palace of Versailles
  • a nighttime view of Paris from the top of the Arc de Triumph
  • a very Parisian dinner of bread and cheese by the Seine
  • the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay
  • climbing the tower of Notre Dame cathedral for a close-up of the gargoyles
  • speaking French
  • eating crepes

Tomorrow is our last full day in Paris before moving on for a few days in Normandy. I'm really going to miss this city!

    Wow! That night-time photo of Paris is an award-winner! Makes me wish I was there, too.

    Agreed with Wendy. Kelsey, your photography abilities are top-notch! I'm glad you enjoyed the city. I think the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou were my favorite things when I visited. Did you get to see the latter? What were your favorite pieces of art at the Louvre? When I went they had all sorts of ancient art which is my favorite kind.

    What about the crepes? Seems they're a little underrepresented here. Did you find a favorite place to get them?
