Paris!

28 Mar - We went to Paris with The Gregoire's and Mez Groom from Australia. Mez is working for a year in England. Her family lived beside us in Fairfax for a few years. We got up EARLY and departed at 0500 to drive to Tourcy France where we caught the train in the Paris. It is a 4 hr drive and a 1 hr train to the Eifel tower. The train was FUN!! Especially in all French and us not knowing any French!! yeah.................. We arrived at the Eifel Tower and went to the second level. The third was closed due to the wind and clouds. There was a little rain but we enjoyed it and the view of what we could see. After we descended, we went across the Seine River to take some photos. We had lunch at a small resturant. We had 3 bowls of veggie soup, 2 cokes, 1 ham-cheese baggett sandwich - not bad for $60!!! The weather cleared up and was nice the rest of the day. We walked to the Arc de Triumph, down the Champes Elysses and ALL the shopping, past the Obelisk from Egypt's Luxor Temple, then to the Louvre Museum, down to Notre Dame and then on a boat cruise on the River Seine and dinner. We departed Paris at 8:30pm and arrived home at 2am. It was a very nice trip, a LONG day but LOTS of memories! Kennedy's and Mez at the Eifel Tower.
