Paris, Full of Adventure

PARIS

So up at 3:30, which is far too early for any mortal and off to Paris. Trains and seats were no problem and I was awake enough to just write a quick blog post and sleep the rest of the time.

From the boat. Eiffel Tower
and Statue of Liberty.

After arriving we got to go on a boat river tour, which was deliciously wonderful. Got to try lots of wine and reconfirmed that lamb is not my favorite, although it was quite tasty.

We started the tour at Moulin Rouge.

Then a walking tour. After stepping out of the air conditioned boat, the 39c (102) heat hit us like a 30ft concrete wall. It was hot. and take the heat and people running on very little sleep and a walk that is crazy exercise on a normal day~

It was not pleasant. But we had a wonderful tour guide that shared some great 
stories with us about people such as 
Van Gogh, Dalida, and the
 man who walked through walls.

39C....

WALLACE

Also she told us about Wallace a gentleman who gave money to the city of Paris for water fountains.

Gotta love Wallace.

Seriously, Wallace's fountains were the best part of the day.

We get to the top of Montparnasse, which offered us a great view of Paris before heading back to the hotel before the Eiffel Tower. 

EIFFEL TOWER

We had some difficulties getting to the tower and up it (a couple of wrong turns a couple of misunderstood directions and an almost fight in line) but we made it to the top.

There is no picture. I ate it before
 I even thought about  taking a picture.

We finished the night with an overpriced crepe.  We were starving and it was amazing. I had coconut and Nutella and ice cream.

Photo Focus: Our photography focus was to spell out out names with pictures that we had taken. My name is rather long, but I think I did all right. B&W and color
