Yesterday we were in 4 countries in one day - started in Germany, drove through the Netherlands, and dropped the car off in Belgium. We then hopped the metro from one end of Brussels to the other to catch the high speed train to Paris. Once in Paris, we then hopped their version of the metro to the hotel (and used a map to find the hotel from the metro stop). It was an interesting challenge for sure, but we made it...and then crashed. We spent the first few hours in Paris camped in our room taking naps and just relaxing.
After a short period of recovery and getting some food, we ventured out into the Paris night. Our goal was to walk to one of the red bus tour stops so we could 'see all of Paris' in a few hours. Our though on this one was that since we only have a few days, we needed to see all of the tourist places as fast as we can so we could spend the rest of the time enjoying the city.
The tour was great and we were able to see so many amazing things. Here are a few quick pictures of some of the main attractions everyone would recognize. I'll post some of my other favorites later.
We are tired for sure, but are up and headed out to find some breakfast, and then go to the Louvre. This is the part of the trip we have been looking forward to the most. I think our tanks are running close to empty right now, but we will get to sleep in when we get home I guess.
J and I in front of the Arc
The tower...yeah, it's pretty big
Notre Dame - guess it's not just a school in Indiana after all
