Our first stop of the day was Notre Dame. We took pictures of the church and even found the statue of Quasi Modo...the Hunchback of Notre Dame. We also found the heart of France, which is a star in front of Notre Dame where all roads are measured from.
From there we walked to the Louvre. It is the largest building I have ever been in. Everyone in France apparently decided to go to the Louvre today because it was crazy busy. We saw the Mona Lisa, which is a much smaller picture than I had envisioned. We spent a little time in a park just outside the Louvre. It was one of our favorite moments.
Our next stop had us standing in line for almost an hour to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower. At first I wasn't going to go, but then I figured I'd better since I was here and everything. I'm glad I went, but I don't think I would go again during the day. If I ever get back here, I will go up at night. The Tower is beautiful at night. (All of my pictures don't seem to be loading into my web album. Hopefully I can get that fixed.)
For dinner tonight we had Kuskus...not sure on the spelling. It was edible, but not my favorite meal of the trip. After dinner we hopped on the Metro and went shopping. Some of us had Paris t-shirts to buy. We then took the Metro back to our hotel to pack as we leave tomorrow for home....wake up is 5:45 am. I'm sure some of you will hear from us once we hit the states. This adventure is one we will never forget.
