We were supposed to have a full day in England yesterday, to spend at the British Museum, and anywhere else we fancied. Unfortunately, due to some construction in London, we sat in traffic for 5 hours. It took us 5 hours to go about 11 miles. YUP you read that right. So we had about 45 minutes in the museum before we had to leave, we were catching a train through the Chunnel to Paris. We had some traumas getting to the train, but we made, safe and sound. We arrived in Paris at about 10:00, and walked in the dark about a mile to our hotel, which was in the sketchiest place I’ve ever seen. I was scared for our safety, but we made it.
This morning, we went to the Notre Dame first. We actually attended a service there, and it was pretty. I couldn’t understand any of it, since it was in French, and Latin, but that’s all right, they were getting their point across.
After the service, we walked around a bit, and then went to our next destination, the Louvre.
I could have an entire blog dedicated to the paintings I took pictures of in there, but there’s no space or time here, so just to say, I saw the Mona Lisa, and the line to see her was long.
You basically had to shove your way in for a pic. After we wandered the Louvre for like, 4 hours, we went next to the Eiffel Tower.
We waited in a line for about 2 hours, to get up near the top.
The view was pretty great. After wandering around a bit longer, we made the journey back to our hotel, and ate at a place near there called, no joke, Yummy Asian Food. It was really tasty, I was surprised. We only have 1 more day of vacation – and I’m looking forward to it!
