Doin' it in Paris

I can't really tell you about all of our many Parisian adventures - we're just too busy living it up in this gorgeous place.

What I will say is:

Notre Dame is more breathtaking inside than I could have imagined. I literally gasped when we walked inside. It didn't hurt that Sunday mass was being said and a choir of angels was singing.

The ONLY way to see Paris by night is on a Segway. If you don't know what that is, google it and then imagine zipping around the streets of night time Paris past all the major buildings and monuments. Suddenly we were the tourist attraction.

At night the Eiffel Tower is lit up a deep blue with the stars of the EU flag on the front and every hour, on the hour, about 5000 lights sparkle and shimmer on every bit of it. It sounds a bit tacky. It isn't. It's freakin' beautiful.

Mark and I have not met one single rude French person. Everyone we have come in contact with in any way has been absolutely charming!

That's not even close to all I have to say, just all I have to say for now.

Bon Soir mes Amis we are off to dine.

Sounds like you're having a lovely time!

No rude people, but what about dogs? I swear I didn't see any when I was there.
