Wow - we just got home from the trip of a lifetime. We've had other trips of a lifetime (Tahiti, Argentina, Brazil, Taiwan, Australia, Denmark and Sweden) but this was really our trip - just the two of us, no meetings, no catching bugs (except two at the top of the Eiffel Tower, c'mon, I'm with Riley). We spent 8 1/2 days wandering the streets of Paris. We saw more old art, more people wearing black, more high heels, more scarves, more creperies, more old buildings and more tourists than we've seen in a lifetime. Quite the place.
My favorites:
The Eiffel Tower - going to the top in the elevators, wandering around the top, seeing all of Paris.
The Eiffel Tower at night - magnificent!
The Arc d'Triomphe - climbing 284 stairs to the top.
Notre Dame - climbing the 384 stairs to the bell tower. Riley posing as Quasimodo. The gargoyles.
Walking hand in hand by the Seine.
Walking hand in hand down Champ Elysees.
Buying and eating pastries and Nutella and banana crepes.
Eating out every night except ...
Our picnic inside our apartment balcony - roast chicken, tabouli, salad, baguette
Versailles - not really a favorite but I liked Marie Antoinette's smaller castle and country area.
Seeing the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus de Milo.
Coming home.
I'm tired but I have many memories to run through my head for a long time.
