Paris

Paris...... What to say about Paris. I had a great time, despite some bad luck!

The flight to Paris was a direct flight, long but at least it was non-stop. I unfortunately did not get much sleep, only about 3 hours, which made for a long first day in Paris. We got lost finding our way to our hotel and while walking the streets of Paris to find the hotel my suitcase wheel fell off of my brand new suitcase!! It was very frustrating to say the least!! We also had some bad luck on Saturday night when we were to have dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. The tower was evacuated due to a Kurdish protest on the second floor viewing deck!!

The things I learned in Paris were, know common French sayings and Greetings, attempting their language goes a long way, have a GOOD map of the city that includes all streets, not just the 'major' ones, make sure your luggage wheels are strong-- cobblestone tears them apart, and plan two trips to the Eiffel Tower, after all you never know when there will be an evacuation due to protesters!!

Beautiful Street in Paris!

The Lock Bridge..... place a lock on the Bridge with yours and your partners name and throw the key in the river!

The Arc De Triomphe!

Not really sure---it was definitely different!

The Eiffel Tower- Beautiful! Wish we would have been able to go up!

My Trip

I haven't been posting anything because I've been travelling the world. I left March 29th for Paris, France and travelled to England and Ireland as well. It was a great trip and I really enjoyed exploring. I've been busy editing the 1200+ photos I took over the 10 days I was gone. I plan on doing a post for each country along with some of my favorite photos!

While I was gone Matt finished the tile and walls in the bathroom, painted, and installed the shower, toilet, and sink. Yeah!! As soon as we get the wall upstairs installed and finish up a few odds and ends we are going to be able to move in!!

Until Next Time,
Amanda
