Paris really IS all that!

Paris is absolutely amazing! The city is romantic, gothic, and intriguing...all in one! I fell in love with the Notre Dame Cathedral...this medieval architecture invades your mind with what once was, what still is, and what is to come! It is riveting and impossible to catch in one photo. The Louvre museum is spectacular, as it is also almost impossible to see in one visit. The Mona Lisa, which millions flock to see, is housed in The Louvre. Oh I could go on & on about the Arc de Triumph, the Champs-Elyses, & the bare nakedness of the Moulin Rouge, but I cannot properly end this blog without leaving you with a taste of the Eiffel. Towering over Paris, with Gypsies begging for your change, with shimmering lights by night, stands the magnificent Tour de Eiffel (The Eiffel Tower). Breathtakingly, we went to the Top of The Eiffel, had lunch at the Eiffel, and concluded our day's journey with down the winding stairs of the Eiffel! The pictures and views were exhilarating! Thanks Rashawn, Stephanie, and Daphne for sharing this amazing adventure with me! We shall not be sad to have left Paris, for we know we will return...sometime, sometime soon!

Until next time...and until the next country...and until the next visitors!

I am so glad that you got to visit Paris. As you so eloquently described, it is an amazing city. I remember visiting the Louvre and viewing the Mona Lisa and thinking to myself "I thought this painting was bigger than this". You know it looks bigger in books. Nevertheless, I am glad you are having a spectactular adventure overseas. Be Blessed and happy belated birthday wishes :)
