Second Day in Paris

We spent our second day exploring museums and going up on Montmartre. There we dined at our favorite vegan restaurant in Paris.

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:

Paris, France – day 1 and 2

After ten long years I made my way back to Europe. I met up with Mon and we started the much awaited EuroTrip. We spent the first two days in Paris and then headed over to Pisa, Italy. While in Paris, we explored the city, went to the Louvre, Montmartre, and a few other places. I brought my 20D and my 17-40mm f/4.0 USM lens to capture my trip abroad. Here are the pictures from the first two days:
