We went to Paris and had a GREAT time - even though it rained most of the time there! I took 244 pictures while we were there, so I'm just posting a few on the blog! This is us at 9:00am in front of the Eiffel Tower - it was foggy and we couldn't see the top until later in the afternoon.
This is the Notre-Dame Cathedral - we toured the inside. Chandlers inside the Notre-Dame. The inside of a cafe where we had lunch. There were so many beautiful bridges over the Seine River in Paris!!
I've got the Eifel tower in my hand! Outside the Louvre museum... This is the Arc du Carrousel - click on it to enlarge, and notice the bird I caught mid-flight!
We walked through several parks - this is the Jardin du Carrousel.One of the parks we walked through had a silver head "art" exhibit going on - funny what some people call art!
This park was my favorite - Jardin des Tuileries! The tress were beautiful. This picture doesn't give the colors justice - the tree leaves were as gold as the heart the multi-colored parrot was sitting on!
My favorite fountain - click on this one to enlarge it and see the detail of the water falling!
This statue was HUGE and was on the corner of a building roof top!


The Eiffel Tower once the fog had cleared for the day.
Kissy Kissy in Paris'!If you look at this blog often, you know I LOVE light posts......there were BEAUTIFUL ones all over Paris. I probably took 12 different pictures of light posts, but this was one of my favorites with the cherubs!A delightful chocolate store we found! Click on this one to enlarge it and see the detail of the chocolate figurines!
This building was CRAZY!!! There were bushes and tress growing out of the exterior walls!! I think this was the Prime Minister's house....
