Wednesday we took a free tour that efficiently covered all the landmarks from Pont Neuf to the Eiffel Tower. While the tour took an exhausting 3+ hours by foot, we got the chance to get familiar with all that is "Paris." We planned to revisit some of the tour stops as all that we saw was the exterior or less. The guides did have a lot to provide, however, like the fact that the Eiffel Tower is painted in 3 shades of grey every 7 years to create perspective from the ground up. Wow.
We also moved to another hostel, The Vintage, not far from the place we stayed on our first night. We had to move because of the lack of room and our failure to make reservations. (We're learning)

It sounds like you two are really having a lot of fun and taking advantage of all of the beautiful things to see. What to you seems to need a good dusting? Are you taking pictures of the brick work and gargoyles? There are just too many things to take in and enjoy. Keep having fun and we can't wait to hear from you again. Love, Joni
ReplyDeleteI can't believe my phone died as Mike called the other day - I'm SOOOOO sorry I didn't get to talk to you, but it was good to know you were OK and Marty gave us a complete rundown. Hope you have enough money for food - with all the walking you are doing, you must be famished!! Stay away from the Sexodrome - otherwise, have a great time and keep in touch. Love, Mom
