The lovely French/English sheep-dotted countryside we saw from the windows of the Chunnel train to Paris. |
| Paris is an incredible experience. The history of the city, the people, the language, everything is captivating. We took many pictures here, and, consequently, this page takes a long time to load ;) |

Daniel and I in an infamous Paris pastry shop. |

Daniel, mom, and dad outside the largest museum in the world, the Louvre. |
 |
Inside the Louvre- I never thought I would ever see a crowd so thick as we saw here. Movement was quite difficult! |
 |
One of the most exciting exhibits at the Louvre: the Venus de Milo. |
 |
Me, with Louvre map in hand, admiring an amazing statue of the Emperor Tiberius. |

I don't think this one needs much of a description- but she was much smaller than I expected.. Probably about 2.5 feet tall. |
 |
The incredible sunset we witnessed outside the Louvre. |
 |
Notre Dame! One of my favorite structures in the world. Sure, I'm not a fan of it's history (overbearing the pagan Gods, etc) but it's just a really, really, cool thing to finally see. Again, notice the smothering crowds at the base. |
 |
My brother and I inside Notre Dame. Here, there were candles that are open to the public to light and make a prayer/wish for, which I am doing. |
 |
These posters lined the walls of the Paris subway system. I found this one to be very humorous ;) |

Remember the movie, "Hey Dude, Where's My Car?" Well, apparently it came to Paris. |
