I See London, I See France

At this rate, it could be May by the time I get through my description of our one week vacation, so I'm going to take a different approach this time.

On Wednesday, Andreas and I got up at 5:45 am to catch the Eurostar train to get to Paris. Speed story. We...

...walked to the Underground
...rode the train to Kings Cross Station
..bought coffee and muffins
...burned my arm with the coffee
...ran super late for the train
...were forced to trash brand new coffee
...were escorted through security
...ran to the train
...had glorious sleep on the way to Paris
...arrived at Paris Nord

...hiked to Sacre Couer


...passed sleazy shoe vendors on the street
....enjoyed beautiful views of Paris

...ate Nutella crepes...that one deserves a pause.
...walked through quaint streets of gift shops
...ate a delicious baguette sandwich
...walked to the Moulin Rouge

...took the Metro to Notre Dame
...had seriously. tired. feet.
...wandered through the Quartier Latin
...relaxed by the Seine...check out the love locks on the bridge

...ate French fries...in France!
...found free toilets
...walked along the Louvre

...ate apple cinnamon crepes
...endured the pouring rain for far too long
...trudged toward the Arc de Triomphe...note the cloudy skies

...re-energized at Haggan Daaz...vanilla caramel brownie ice cream and Illy coffee. Yes. Please.
...saw the Arc de Triomphe

...walked to the beautiful Eiffel Tower

...rushed to train
...ate snacks for dinner while watching Lost at the hotel

Whew! This post is much like that day - rushed, full, exciting, and probably a bit erratic, but at least we are through Wednesday!

  1. Yes, it is now May, and no, you are not yet finished.
