It was time to move to the next leg of our Europe vacation....Paris! We got up, had breakfast and took a cab to the Eurostar station. Navigating the train station wasn't very hard and we had plenty of time.
I got sooo sick. I wish I could have enjoyed the English and French countryside.
But, I was so very close to tossing my cookies!
We finally got to Paris, and all was well. We got a taxi and went to our hotel.
Our hotel was old, hot (no a/c), and very tiny. But the room's view was incredible!
We unloaded and immediately got a cab to go to The Louvre. We made a bee line for the woman herself...The Mona Lisa!
We didn't have very much time, but we did get to see Venus DeMilo and some other famous paintings. The architecture of that former palace is incredible.
We got a cab back to our hotel and walked a couple of blocks to have some dinner..what an amazing view!
After dinner we went over to The Arc De'triomphe and explored the Champs-Élysées
Louis Vutton store...to go in there, you had to be frisked with a metal detector
The Eiffel Tower at night
The first day in Paris came to an end and we thoroughly enjoyed the nighttime view from our room's balcony.
