Pictures from Paris

So after leaving Dublin we travelled to Paris. Unfortunately our flight was delayed for a few hours and we didn't arrive at our Hotel until after midnight...but its all a part of the adventure! After getting a good nights sleep we were off for our first day of sight seeing! We decided to do a hop on\hop off tour which gave us 2 days on the bus and then a ride on a boat down the river.



Mom and Dad getting comfortable and getting their earphone in so they can enjoy the ride!




Standing in front of the Arc de Triumph. Its always fun trying to take a picture on a Saturday in one of Paris' most famous land marks but we did succeed!





Riding on the river! Here's Mom and Dad enjoying our little cruise and the information from the handy little radio thingys!













After our first day of touring we took the bus back to the central metting place in an attempt to catch another bus to see Monmartre, but there was so much traffic that we were too late. Fortunately the bus driver took a different route and we went by this building that was covered in plants. So cool!

No Paris pictures on my blog would be complete without my favourite tourist attraction...the Eiffle Tower...look, enjoy, be jealous!

So Mom was reading a magazine on the trip over from Toronto and found out that we could climb to the second level of the Eiffle Tower and then take the lift to the third level...So that's what we did! 674 Steps to the second level...plus a few extras along the way to different viewing levels! My butt looks fabulous now!

For serious, this is in the Eiffle tower...only 6014 km to Toronto...I felt so close to home!

After the Eiffle Tower we decided to go and check out Monmartre, but not until after Mum and Dad did a whirlwin, one-hour tour of the Lovre. This is Mum and I on the tour that we took in Monmartre...it was on a little train that drove through the area. So fun!

Dad waving as he heads up the stairs to check out Sacre Ceour...oh my god...more stairs!

This is one of the funiest things I saw...the dog really is wearing a helmut! I wonder how much those cost?

This is Mum and Dad after our big day out in Paris. We were waiting for the Metro at the stop near Moulin Rouge. Aren't they so cute after 30 years of marriage?

I know now that its a thumb, but when I first looked at it I really thought it was another part of the male anatomy...don't tell me you didn't think it too!

La Defense at sun set...our last night in Paris...so beautiful!

So those are the pictures from our Paris travels. We have now moved on to Germany so stay tuned for those pictures arriving soon!
