Paris

We flew into Zurich, leaving here on saturday, getting there sunday afternoon. The next morning we boarded the train for Paris. Paris was GREAT! Although the weather was rather chilly but at least it didn't rain. Our hotel was right by the Moulin Rouge so we could walk pretty much anywhere. And the pastries were to die for!

That afternoon we walked up to Sacre Coeur and Montmarte which is a church on the highest point in Paris.

The next day Craig and I played total tourist. We went to Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, the Opera House, and Arc de Triomphe. Unfortunately most things were under construction so alot of it was blocked by scaffolding. We attempted to go to the Louvre but it was closed so we went to next day. It was really cool to walk around the city. I think we walked past justabout every sight in Paris and probably walked about 6 miles.

We went up some tower across from the Eiffel Tower at sunset. It was a great view. And they do a light show which was cool.
