France (Cont.)

La Tour Eiffel

This is a massive structure. If you're not afraid of heights like I am, I've heard the view from the top platform is awesome. Just make sure it is not on a windy day. The structure has a tendency to sway a bit. I went up to the first platform which still had some pretty views.






The Louvre

Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to tour the Louvre. It takes a good day at least. However, we still were able to walk around outside.




For my next European trip post, I'll be taking a brake from France and tell you about the place I enjoyed the most...Prague.

Big Steps for My Babies

In one week, Josh went from formula to milk, Elizabeth was potty trained, and I broke BOTH of them from the pacifier! Mommy and Daddy are happy.

France

First Stop - Paris (City of Crazies)

I have to admit, I had a picture in my head of what Paris would be like. When I think of Paris I think art, fashion, romance. However, my first day there I was quickly brought back to reality with political demonstrations, riot police, graffiti, and traffic (A LOT of traffic). I've never seen so much chaos in my life.



This was NOT in rush hour! If you ever go, DON'T DRIVE.

Our first stop in Paris was Notre Dame Cathedral. It's one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It's is beautiful! The craftsmanship that went into every inch of this cathedral is amazing.








After Notre Dame, we decide to just start walking and see where it would take us. It wasn't too bad. I just wish it wasn't as cold.






In my next post, I'll continue with The Louvre and La Tour Eiffel.
