Paris, France

So we survived the 13.5 hour train ride from Madrid to Paris and have been soaking up as much French culture as we can before heading to Heidelburg, Germany on Thursday. Today we saw the Eiffel tower up close (which believe me, looks much more romantic in the movies) as well as the Hotel de Invalides where Napoleon is buried. Yesterday we saw Notre Dame and walked along the Seine River. Tomorrow is the big one: we're taking on the Louvre! Hopefully it won't be too draining because we still have to make our way to the Arc de Triumphe and hunt down some crepes and cafe au laite after the museum! Gotta run-more to come later.

Paris TIP! There is a tunnel UNDER the street by the Arc! I didn't know that when I was there and we ran through all the traffic to try to get to it. We are lucky we survived! I loved Notre Dame and agree with you about the Eiffel tower.

Have fun!
Love Aunt Val
