Paris

Well, I have now been in Paris for about 4 days and have been enjoying it thoroughly. However, for some reason Kyle and I cannot get up before noon. For instance, the other day we woke up at 8:00a.m. (it was still dark outside) and we started talking and listening to music before falling back to sleep until 1:00p.m. I guess all the walking and sightseeing is making us tired, who knows.

So far we have been to Galleries Lafayette (huge mall), Le Louvre, Notre Dame and many other neighborhoods. We have had many great conversations (with people from around the world) ranging from things to do in the city to books to read and how easy it is to move to another country.

Well today we are planning on going to the Musee D'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, do some shopping (kyles feet hurt, so he needs to get some new shoes) and then possibly a concert. We are also going to venture around and try to find ourselves some French girlfriends. It is unbelievable how well all the girls dress. This led Kyle and I to try and learn some additional French. Kyle's memory isn't the best, so I had to remember how to say, "I love you" "You are very Beautiful" and "can I have a kiss." Kyle just greets them, then I have to do the rest.


I am still a bit tired right now, so I am not going to type much more than this, but I will share some pictures.

These Police were out and about because there was a huge protest down rue st. michelle (the street we're staying on).
