 Here we go!



Our first view of Paris. I don't know if they actually grill hippos there, but I like to think they do.



Kyle taking a picture of the bathroom in our hotel room. Yes, having access to a bathtub is a big occasion for us...



I've no idea what this church was, but I liked it.


This is inside Eglise Madeleine, which we found by accident whilst looking for the River Seine.



Our first view of the Eiffel Tower - kind of blurry.



Notre Dame cathedral. We wandered in while a service was going on, and it was pretty epicly echoey.



The Arc de Triomphe. OMG, you can't imagine how much my feet were hurting when I took this photo. They were hurting a lot.



Beneath the Arc.



The Arc later that night... My feet were even more painful by then. My tip for anyone visiting Paris - don't wear your Converse in the rain, then switch to Doc Martins. It will hurt you.



The Eiffel Tower at night - very glittery!



A view from the Tower. I can't get over how epicly high the Tower is. Nothing needs to be that tall.

More to come, as soon as my crappy camera stops crapping out on me!

Grilled hippo...and people think the English have a shoddy cuisine ;-)

P.S. I thank England for toffee - love it! :-)

We also found a bistro called Cockneys, which sadly did not sell eels and whelks, but never mind.

But did it sell Cockneys?

From what I could tell, it mostly sold burgers. Very disappointing.

Nice to see Paris open! They're always (ALWAYS) on strike whenever I go near that damned city. Lol. Pretty though, isn't it? :)
