I think it's official: we really like Paris!! It's been super good to us. (except this keyboard. The keys are not where I think they should be. If I type like I nor,qlly do; this is zhqt hqppens:) Not pretty. So, anyways pictures do not do justice to things that you see in real life. For example, the Eiffel Tower! It's huge! And greyish-brown. Char and I always thought it was black... huh. We bought the tickets to walk up the stairs to the second floor, which was the cheaper way to go and it's a long way to the top if the top is a long way up! 700 steps to be precise. So that was tiring. But amazing views from the top!
We also went to the louve today. Pictures do not do the paintings justice, they are so much larger in person then in pictures. That's the one thing that seeing things in person does for the appreciation of art, it shows the scale of some of the most famous paintings. And I (Char) feel bad for saying it as an art major, but the Mona Lisa did not make me smile. However there was a picture of monkey painting that sure did the trick.
So far Paris has been good to us, and the apartment we're staying in is lovely, and cosy. We look forward to the days to come and seeing Notre Dame and Versailles. I (char) also plan to buy some really great Paris kitch. That's all for now,
Au Revoir!
Ahhh Paris! I miss Paris! I meant to warn you about the keyboards, but ah well, you figured it out soon enough. Well done on the Eiffel Tower guys! The views are amazing from the top eh?
