Well we made it to Paris! It is so beautiful, especially at night! We have been walking and walking and walking.... We saw Notre Dame, on our first night and just walked around enjoying the sights of Paris. On every block we noticed there are cafes about 3-4 in just one block. They all serve the same thing, but are pretty busy, especially in the evenings. We have come to France at the right time as smoking in public buildings like restaurants is no longer allowed. Instead everyone has to smoke outside. Outdoor seating here is a part of the scenery. Great for people watching! Paris is a high fashion scene. Ladies wear tall boots with everything! Everyone looks very ...fashionable.
Day 2 we did the Fat Tire bike tour of Paris which in my opinion was the highlight of my trip. in 4 hours we saw so much of Paris and learned about the history as we rode along. Our tour guide was from Wisconsin(another land of cheese) A fact which he was so proud of he had a tattoo of Wisconsin on his forearm.
So things we learned in Paris: The Louis: Louis the 14 built stuff. Louis the 15 enjoyed it, and Louis the 16 paid for it (with his head that is). The Nazis used to march up and down the most famous promenade in Paris between the Arc d' Triumph and the Louve (I forget the name). It would be so hot that his troops would pass out. So Hitler ordered that trees be planted on this street. Now Parisians and tourists enjoy the shade on hot summer days! Thanks Hitler! (You don't hear that one often)
Okay enough random facts, you'll just have to go to Paris and learn for yourselves....:) We highly recommend it!!!!!
