Okay, the last time I was in Paris, I was a teenager. After spending 3 days here for the second time in my life, I absolutely fell in love. Around every corner is something to see. Music everywhere, even on the Metro. Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, the canals…etc… just amazing.

Our original plan was to stay in Paris for only 2 days, but, this wasn’t nearly enough time! Our first day we walked around visiting Notre Dame first (lighting a candle for cousin Kim back home), followed by an outdoor look at The Louvre. We then walked to the Eiffel Tower, where the line to go up was much too long to wait. So, we just stood under it for a while. We then went down to the canals and enjoyed some wine and cheese as the sunset. Romantic, we know! Ha ha!

It was BC Day on our first day in Paris so we made our way to The Moosehead Pub to celebrate. You can guess the brand of beer they serve…

The next day we tried to go inside The Louvre, but it was closed! We ended up just walking around enjoying the sights, before heading out for some dinner and a few bottles of wine.

On our last and unplanned day in Paris, we went to The Louvre yet again. After waiting 10 minutes, we were in! We walked around The Louvre for a few hours (massive), ending it with Monna Lisa. We spent the evening in Paris Nord, overlooking all of Paris from atop the stairs. A beautiful end to a beautiful city.

The following day we had no real plan. So, we went back to Amsterdam… the happiest place on Earth. We are now on our way along the coast of northern and western France. Visiting the D-Day beaches in Normandy and then to Bordeaux before heading into Spain and Portugal.
