Now that is better :)
Yesterday was our final day in Paris. We spent the morning at Notre Dame which was incredible. The girls thought that the cathedral was magnificent. The stained glass windows and the arches were so overwhelming- Devyn took more than 100 pictures - and we were there just in time to hear a choir practice for an up coming concert- that was very special. After Notre Dame we ate lunch in a lovely little cafe across the street. Blythe ordered hot dogs (she was quite surprised by her order)- it was a entire bagett covered with cheese with two sausages inside- it was very yummy and she said she wants to make those kind when she gets home-I guess we will bring a little part of Paris back with us. We then went shopping for some great Paris souvenirs and then went back for a quick rest before going to the Eiffel Tower at dusk. We met some very interesting people while in line for tickets. Several backpackers one from New York and a nice couple from Belgium. She was completing her PhD in the study of Roman coins (now that is being specialized). We then went up the tower and took another 300 pictures. While we on the observation deck the light show began-- what more can I say - as you can see by the picture it was just beautiful. We made it back to our hotel on the Metro without getting lost (which was a plus) and packed for our train ride to Metz. Our day was a complete success- and Paris has been more than we expected.
** Now of course the Eiffel Tower has not fallen down- import difficulties-- but you get the point.
