Word of the day: Toren (Tower)
In the car on our way to Paris! It is about a 4hr drive, so we left around 10am. Once there we checked into our hotel, which was about 4 blocks from the Eiffel Tower, so of course that was our first stop once we ventured out. As mentioned in yesterday's entry the weather this weekend was going to be nice... today- sun and in the mid-50s...perfect for walking around! Well, we didn't actually go to or in the Eiffel Tower bc we have plans for that tomorrow, but we did manage to take a picture as we walked by it.
We continued our walk around the city, over the Seine River and into the Louvre part of town. We stopped for a drink and some appetizers, and then headed to the Louvre for their evening hours. Yes, I saw the Mona Lisa, and I can't believe how many panes of glass are in front of it! Most people when they see it are surprised at how small it is, but I thought it was about right, maybe just a tad bit smaller than expected??
After the Louvre we walked a bit more along the river and headed back toward the Eiffel Tower. It is definitely sooooo pretty at night! And there I went snapping away with my camera. Though I should note, it seems to be partially broke now and the flash isn't working on all settings at night.. urgh! Of all the places it would decide to break... urgh! (Hopefully I have been a good enough girl this year and Santa will bring me a new one :) )
After the tower we were a bit hungry and headed to a restaurant by our hotel for some French Onion soup... Yum!!!
Honestly, I couldn't get enough of the tower!!! And I can't wait to order another picture canvas, definitely will be getting one of the tower for my collection of travels canvases.
Till next time...
