Back from Paris

So we just got back from our weekend in Paris!
It was so fun and such an adventure.

I don't even know where to start.... I'm thinking I might spread out these blog posts because we did so much in the 3 days we were there. I don't think I have ever walked so much in my life. Seriously a lot of walking. Which was good because the only food they have in Paris is bread, cheese, and crepes. Seriously. One day we got breakfast at our hotel. They brought us a crossiant, bread, and hot chocolate.

So I should probably try and start at the beginning of our little adventure...
Friday morning we woke up early and headed to Paris. Once we got into france we had to go through probably 6 or 8 toll booths. Luckily for us, some of them were on strike. Once we got to Paris, we found our quaint little hotel. Then we headed toward the Metro...

We took the Metro everywhere. It is pretty much like the subway. Sometimes it smelled because of the bums.

The eiffel tower was amazing and beautiful! We waited in line and finally got to walk up those billion stairs. Ashley ran up the stairs. We only got to go to the 2nd level because the line to the top was really really long and it cost money. We could still see pretty much all of Paris from there though.

When we got to the bottom we walked to this little viewing area and ate our first Parisian Crepes. Delicious. We also got to see them light the tower. I think it looks way prettier at night.

So that is the extent of our first day in Paris. Here are some pictures from our first day there. More to come!
