Goodbye Pari!

Paris is over and we are, once again, packed and ready to move on tomorrow. The next time we travel (after tomorrow of course) will be to head home!
Today was another ridiculously hot one here in Paris. It's not hot like home it's hot like STICKY hot. It really is miserably humid and without ac in our room we are more than ready for Amsterdam's high seventies. Rain even sounds nice right now. 
Ok enough complaining. Today was nice and relaxed. We slept in, and took our time all morning which was a welcome change. We headed off to the Arc de Triumph which was beautiful, and then walked the Champs Élysées (a famous street for shopping). We realized shortly into walking that this street was a little rich for our blood and so we headed home. 
Home however, was ridiculously hot and we couldn't nap so we went and sat in a park and read and stole wifi. Then we took naps on the park benches in the shade just like the bums sitting across from us (only we didn't have a can of beer). It was nice and breezy and relaxing.
Next we packed up and got all ready to leave tomorrow because tonight we are taking a twilight cruise on the Seine river through town to see all the lights and the Eiffel Tower at night. It does a light show every hour so we hope to catch that as well. 
Paris has been wonderful, truly an amazing city with lots to see and do, and surprisingly the language barrier has only been a problem a few times. People have been helpful and the Metro (subway) has been really easy to use (although it has also been SMOKING hot on those trains).  But so far both of our favorite has been Dublin. There was just something so homey about Ireland, maybe it was the rain :)
Also thanks to all saying prayers for my grandmother. She is recovering amazingly fast and will be headed to a home (hopefully temporarily) tomorrow. I appreciate your support more than you know.
Wish us luck as to getting into and around Amsterdam tomorrow, as the world cup game is on Sunday and we may be two of 50,000 people headed to Amsterdam tomorrow!! 
Lots of love!!!
