Around Town

Our first day in paris, we landed, drove to our hotel, put our bags down and we were off. We decided to take one of those double decker, red bus tours around town so we could get the lay of the land and see a fast forward version of all the sites.

Some of these pics are from that tour and the rest are random shots from around town. If I know what it is off hand I'll label it, but if not, then you'll just have to enjoy it for the sake of enjoying a picture.... =)

Paris Opera House

Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysee

Crusty bread, a little bit of butter, mozzerella cheese, tomato, lettuce, salt and pepper. Yum!

National Assembly

My gorgeous mom enjoying her first meal in Paris.

Kimberly ordering her first Nutella crepe for the trip. I think I got one a day, but I opted for the Jambon Fromage (ham and cheese) version. Sooooooo unbelievably good. You have a sweet crepe, mixed with melted fresh Parmesan (I think it's Parm) cheese and good, salty ham with a little bit of salt and pepper. It's incredible. I wish I got a picture of it, but I was obviously too excited to eat it every time so I never had a chance.

Carousel at the base of the Eiffel Tower

The Latin Quarter. This is the corner our hotel was on. Loved this part of town!

I had a little bit of a love affair with the chairs there. I want to find some and convert my dining room table chairs to these.

The Seine River. If you look closely in the background you can see the Notre Dame and I think St.Chapelle is the round chapel next to it (don't quote me on that one though).

 See what I mean about obsessed with the chairs?

Ok, last one I promise.
