And Later That Night

We got engaged! I’ve been carrying the ring with me the whole time. Tonight, it just felt right to ask Mon the big question. Before going to a Moroccan restaurant for dinner, we stopped to get some photos of the Eiffel tower at night. Read the rest of this entry »

Another Gray day in Paris

Still unadjusted to the timezone, we slept in nearly the whole day. In order to meet one of Mon’s friend, we had to get out of bed. We walked all over the northern part of the city. Along the way we saw some weird Christmas displays at the department store windows, and ate at a phenomenal vegan restaurant, Bar D’Artisans.

Back in Paris

Mon and I found an amazing deal to travel from Atlanta to Paris. I had some unused vacation time and Mon was off from school, therefore making it logical to take a second vacation over Thanksgiving. After stopping in Toronto for an eight hour layover, we finally made it over to Paris.

Back in Paris

We arrived back in Paris in the late afternoon. We dropped our stuff at our crappy hostel and decided to check out the Catacombs and then go to the Tour de France wrapup. The Catacombs decided to close at 4 rather than 5:30 so we went down to Champs-Élysées to watch the end of the Tour. It was an interesting experience, but I would not recommend it. You see bikes flying down, and have no idea who is in the pack. At night we went on top of this skyscraper for a wonderful view of the city. The next day we spent walking around the city trying to find something to do. It was a Monday, and everything was closed. The weather was crappy, so we spent the day finding presents for everyone back home.

Tour de France!

Paris, France – day 3

Just before heading over to Paris Orly International Airport, not to be confused with the O’RLY bird, to go to Pisa, we spent the day in exploring Paris. We went to the Louvre museum and strolled around the city hunting for the best sorbet. Here are the pictures:
