paris part deux

so last night after i blogged we decided to do a night bike tour through paris. it wasn't as informative as we would have liked but we did get to see a beautiful sunset and the effiel tour light up the night.

today we headed to the louve, when they say its big they arent lying. the thing is huge and very easy to get lost in, but we took all day and navigated through it and saw all the major pieces including the mona lisa and venus de milo. i liked mona lisa, she looks like a smart ass. there were other works i enjoyed as well but i took pictures and am not so sure about the names. i ate an incredible strawberry french pastery today that might have been too pretty to eat... if i hadnt spent four euro on it. anyway, after the louve we headed for notre dame. it is absolutely stunning from the outside. it is pretty on the inside, but we have been to vatican city so we are spoiled. but none of the cathedrals we have seen are anything like the outside of notre dame.

tomorrow we are getting up bright and early to go see the tour de france at the champs-elysees. the tour was the reason we began planning this trip so we are quite excited to see it. viva le france! viva le tour!


p.s. im so glad all the girls have been enjoying the blog, we will have to get together when i develop the pictures.
