Au Revior Paris

Our last day in Paris was a very busy but still relaxing day. We started the day by going to a local street market to grab supplies for lunch. We found some great cheese and bread and purchased a couple of half bottles of wine.








After the market it was off to Napoleon's Tomb.






















Lunch was a picnic in a park with the Eiffel tower in the background as we sipped our wine, ate our cheese and enjoyed the perfect late summer weather.




















Found a wonderful dinner where Lora was surpised by the presentation of her fish. You can see by the pictures she was nervous to eat it but must have liked it in the end. She might be getting used to having her food stare her down while she eats it.





After dinner we made our way to the Eiffel tower to go to the top and see the city lights. On the way there we were crossing a bridge and ran into one of Lora's co-workers and his wife. Such a small world! They joined us on our trek to the Eiffel tower and brought us up to date on their travels to Italy.


The Eiffel tower at night is not something to be missed. It was all lit up in blue and as we started walking towards it the lights started blinking all over the tower. This went on for about 10 minutes and appears to happen every hour at night.

We are on our way to Germany tomorrow and will update when we can. We've been very fortunate with the wi-fi in our hotel and hope we will find similar access along the way.

Hope all is well.

Love,
Kevin and Lora

John, I assume you will be enjoying the new xbox.

Carrie....sorry!

Beth, You guys need to experience Europe and not just live through us.

Holly, We'll miss you in Germany as we won't be there at those times. I know you'll love it though.
