Every inch!

Bonjour.

The Europeans, ever resourceful, use every inch of everything - except their churches which are vast.
We toured Notre Damn yesterday, which is not too far from our hotel.
Then we jumped on a tour bus that lets us jump on and off all day.
Ended up at the Eiffel Tower where Gramma spotted the missionaries which made her day - I took her picture.

The Eiffel Tower is really amazing, as are the lines, so Gramma got an icecreme cone and we got back on our bus and made our way to the stop point at the Louvre.

The driveways at the Louvre are all cobblestone and this guy on a bike appeared to be jiggling out of control just as Gramma steps in front of him.  He yelled, she thought he swore - which who could blame him, but that was our only near accident yesterday so a good day all around.

The French take their ballet very seriously and they should.  Most amazing thing I have ever seen but like with all things... I was not aware that the ballet was only dancing.  I thought there was singing. 

Today we depart for an all day tour of the Palace of Versaille (sp?) and the Monet gardens.

Steph - I haven't figured out pictures just yet, just barely got power to my computer. Pictures will be tomorrow. 

Gramma has taken to Parisian life very well, she is currently sipping hot chocolate and finishing her second croissant.

Until tomorrow...
