Paris!

A group of us went to Paris over our first 3 day weekend! We had tons of fun. Here are some of the pictures from the weekend. I took over 400 pictures in the three days, so these are just a small sample. I have posted a bunch of the pictures on Facebook, here are links to the albums. You should be able to view them from the links even if you don't have a Facebook account.

At the train station...way too early in the morning.

During our first walking tour.

Church at the highest point in Paris.

In the red light district.

On Saturday we encountered rain, but we still got to see a lot and get some good pictures. We spent the day walking through Paris and seeing most everything we wanted to.





We waited in line for quite a while (probably took over 2 hours in total) to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, it was so worth it!


We walked to the Louvre to see the grounds and the statues outside. We stayed there to watch the Eiffel Tower light show at 10:00.




Sparkly lights!

On Sunday morning we got up early to get in line at the Louvre. The first Sunday of the month they have free admission. The line was kind of long, but as soon as they opened it went quickly. Here are some of the many pictures from the Louvre.


The Mona Lisa.



Heading to Notre Dame.

  1. Were you surprised at how small the Mona Lisa really is? But her eyes do follow you... :-)
