Paris Part 2

Here are our long overdue Paris pictures. The Eiffel Tower was to my surprise absolutely beautiful at night. I figured they would light it up, it was WAY above and beyond my expectations. Here are just a few pictures...it was lit up in every color combination. After the show which was about 20 minutes we went back to the hotel and to bed.

The next morning we went to this beautiful Church which sits at the highest point in Paris.

At the bottom of the hill was a beautiful double decor carousel and a little playground.

We then took the metro to the Arc de Triomphe. Napoleon had it built to honor all those who fought for France. Underneath is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

The next morning we were up early and left before the traffic was too bad. It was a great trip and I am so glad we went. If we are ever to go back we really want to go in the Louvre, and I particularly want to see the Palace of Versailles. There is so much to see and do in Paris that we just could not fit it all into a long weekend.
