Paris, J t'aime

We arrived and had an amazing Parisian breakfast of Jus d'orange, croissants and café creme. It was amazingly good.

I had only been in Paris 10 minutes by this point but I loved it already.

We took the metro to our hotel which was right by the Moulin Rouge, also in the Red Light District.


At the Musee' D'orsay


Notre Dame!
Joan being a tourist.

This was a particularly great moment because not only was I seeing the Eiffel Tower, but we had taken the metro to Trocadero and knew it was close by but Joan had turned the corner before me and said "I think you're going to see something" and sure enough there she was!

Pretty much on top of the world at this point.
In the district of St.Michel near Notre Dame.

We had dinner at this great restaurant, Pizza Marzano, not exactly French cuisine but French chefs made it so...there you go. We then met up with my friend Rudy, a friendly Parisian, and went to an Irish Pub. It was a really great time, the live singer was wonderful, the Guinness was on tap and Rudy and his friends were great hosts.

We made it back to our hotel in one piece and slept soundly after our long day in Paris.
