Paris



Hi everyone
The keyboards here are funky so bear with me. We arrived in Paris yesterday and checked into a cute little hostel that is really a hotel. We went right to the Eiffel tower and took a nap in the park. Then we went back to our hostel to get ready for the Moulin Rouge. It was so AWESOME. We really enjoyed getting to go around the city on the public transportation and now we have it mastered and we are off to Belgium tomorrow. Today, we took one of those silly bus tours but it was worth it because it was one where you could get off whenever and catch another one later. There is so much to see in Paris so it was the only way to go. We saw the Sacre Couer, Notre Dame, the River Seine, got in free at the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa. It was a busy day!! Then; we went back to the Eiffel Tower and climbed a million stairs to the 2nd story. It was high enough!! Jeremy, you would have hated it!!! While we were up there, it lit up and we climbed down to see it sparkle at night. It was a busy couple of days and we are still adjusting to the time difference but we are moving on to Brussels tomorrow... Quote of the vacation so far "Ah Lloyd, the French are assholes!"
