Paris

I just got back from spending five wonderful days in Paris. I stayed with an Air Force girl (Heather) I recently met on my Eastern Europe trip. Her place was just a five minute walk from the Eiffel Tower!





I was able to visit the Louvre where I saw the Mona Lisa. I was surprised to find its not that big.















I walked from the Arc de Triomphe down the Champs-Elysees past the Louvre all the way to Notre Dame.











The next day, I visited Notre Dame and climbed the towers. I was able to have a view over the whole city.









I stupidly went to the Paris Catacombs by myself. It was cool, but pretty scary!





Since I'd already seen the city from Notre Dame, I went up the Eiffel Tower at night. It was beautiful! There is a reason they call it "The City of Light."













I took a day trip to Versailles. Where I toured the palace and the beautiful gardens.



























I also visited Montmartre and Sacre-Ceur basilica. Since it's near there, I walked by Moulin Rouge.





While I was in Paris, Heather took me to a wonderful creperie (Ty Breiz) for dinner.

On the last day, I visited the Musee d'Orsay and saw original Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh's.
