Another day...another country

Thursday brought us another day, another train and another country....Paris, France. The day started early. We left our hotel at 4:45 a.m. Thursday morning (11:45 p.m. eastern time, Wednesday) so while you were all going to bed we were getting up. Plus the fact that Paris is an hour ahead of London we were all screwed up. The train ride was really cool since we got to go in the chunnel and pass through the English and French countryside at just over 200 MPH. When we got to Paris we jumped on the bus and stopped by the Arc de Triomphe which doubles as a wind tunnel. Trust us we saw it first hand.
Then we headed over to the Eiffel Tower or as it should be know as....an erector set on steroids.

We climbed to the second level to take a few shots around the city including this shot of the Les Invalides (gold dome) which is the burial site of Napoleon.

While there we met these nice doctors who were performing a colonoscopy examine on the tower.

It was really windy under there.....not sure where it was coming from though.



After watching the procedure we ventured over to Notre Dame Cathedral where we discovered the Georgia Tech seems to always be out in front of Notre Dame.

We also discovered the Hunchback of Notre Dame roaming around outside. No comments from the peanut gallery.

Then onto the Louvre so that Matthew could get his culture for his lifetime. It has also been determined that you could play a game of hide and go seek here with 100 people and nobody would have been found. So if you are it you are staying IT.

You thought the Mona Lisa was a painting of an unknown woman....well she was IT and never could find anyone so they painted her to show what the loser looks like.
The Venus de Milo was also someone who was IT as well but since she couldn't tag anyone she stayed IT for awhile.
Someone really needs to tell her to put a top on and get a tan. Maybe that is why she could never find anyone.

We arrived back in London around 10 p.m. London time (5 p.m. Eastern time) and went straight to bed. Yes we are old people who go to sleep at 5 p.m. but isn't 5 p.m. somewhere in the world all the time.


Well Friday we are headed to Tiffanie's home for the next two months.....Reading, England. We may have a few shots of her new crib. Then Saturday Matthew is headed back to the States.
