Paris!!!

Paris was really pretty minus the smell of pee :0 !!! It was a fun but short trip.  We only had two full days there so we had to cram a lot in.  We did get to walk up the Eiffel Tower and went to the Louvre, went inside Notre Dam, and went up the Arc de Triomphe!  We had pretty weather and ate a lot of crepes!!! 

We had to take a loooong and hot bus ride from the airport to our apartment we stayed at!
The Opera house
In Paris!

Our apartment that we rented was directly across from the Moulin Rouge!!

My first real French crepe!  I got a buckwheat cheese crepe and it was delicious!



All of the cafes and restaurants had outdoor seating and a lot of tables had the seats both facing towards the street
No big deal, making a crepe :)
We meet up with our friends from school who has visited us a few weeks ago in Berlin,  and saw the Eiffel tower !!!



The Seine River!

We walked down from where we were and sat in the grass in front of the Eiffel Tower and watched it light up!  I think every hour after it gets dark they turn on A LOT of lights and it looks like the tower is sparkling

They had big glass walls to stop people from getting close to the edge of the tracks in the subway and then when the train comes they open!
