This whole Paris thing is really growing on us! This morning we went to a farmers market, and had some of the best strawberries we have ever had. All of the fruits/vegetables had been picked a few hours prior to opening. The French strawberries are totally worth coming back for, as well as the croissants. They also have McDonald's here but it is about $8.00 for 9 chicken nuggets!
This morning we climbed the several hundred stairs of the Eiffel tower. It may not seem worth it, but as you can imagine, the elevator lines are 5 times longer! The tower provides quite an amazing view of Paris.
In the afternoon, we visited the Notre Dame cathedral. It was a very old and historic site. The inside was dimly lit from the several stained glass windows.
One huge accomplishment from today was when we found the only two water fountains in Paris! We'll, maybe not the only ones, but the only ones we have seen for two days!
We are starting to master the metro system, too bad that we are leaving tomorrow! Oh well, at least we will know for next time, in several years from now, if ever.
We took a stroll on a fairly well known bridge. Both sides of the bridge are covered with thousands of locks. It is how tourists leave a part of themselves in France.
We'll, tomorrow should be a blast! We plan on seeing many more places, and eating a lot more bread!
