Paris is wonderful!! And the Chunnel ride was awesome!! If we could we would ride it all the way home. There is so much more room and more comfortable seats! And I hardly noticed the 15 minutes we spent under the ocean (except for the sudden temperature change). We were both very impressed and are looking forward to riding it again to Amsterdam.
We found our hotel right away and are also impressed with it! It has room to walk AND a toilet in our room :) We were just glad to get out of that closet of a room we had, and this feels like pure luxury now, which believe me, it's not.
Today we went to Notre Dame, which was breathtaking, and then walked the city going through it's parks and ended about four miles away at THE Eiffel Tower!!! It was just like I had imagined!! Only difference was that the park out front of it was littered with garbage which made us both very sad. We stood in line to go up it but after standing for thirty minutes and not being anywhere near the front of the line, we were warned that the waiting on each level would be that long so we left. We decided to go back tomorrow morning as soon as it opens and hope for slightly less people.
After being warned about the amounts of people here, we have been pleasantly surprised. There are WAY less people out walking here than there were in London. And we are both very happy about that! It does make you feel pretty vulnerable when everything is in another language though! With that said, we have rode the metro already twice today and never got lost or missed our stop, my pilot is pretty impressive :) Actually this whole trip we haven't once been lost!! Pretty amazing if you could see these streets.
So I ask Kev every night if there is anything he wants me to make sure and talk about and tonight his request was that I tell everyone that we saw beef flavored lays potato chips in the grocery store tonight... We come all the way to freaking Paris and my husband is astonished by potato chips. Boys will be boys. And as worried as we were about spending eighteen days straight together in stressful situations, I still think he is the most amazing hubby ever and couldn't be more happy to be spending this amazing trip with him!
We have lots planned for tomorrow so we are hitting the hay early tonight! Hope you are all enjoying your hot weather!! Au Revoir!

when i was in hawaii last i called a friend to say I'd found "shrimp flavored chips" then a few minutes was surprised to find crab flavored ones as well. They were icky.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Paris! Its a place I'd like to see someday! I'm amazed you are finding it so easy to get around with the language barrier, gives me hope I'll be able to!
Yeah Troy it really hasn't been that bad to get around! And to be honest most of them speak pretty good english so that has really helped!
