Arriving in Paris - Blogabond

After an uneventful flight across the pond, though the three of us slept a collective 3 hours, we arrived in Paris ready to go. After a slight delay in getting our train passes due to unexpected glitches in credit card function we were on our way to Paris city center. We arrived on Ile Saint Louie and settled into our new digs before wandering through the neighborhood in search of sustenance. Mark promptly found plenty within a block of the apartment. Screeches of “I love Paris” filled the air with each sighting of a pastry shop or gelato stand. The giant chocolate fountain defied words.

We soon found a nice sidewalk Bistro for some real French Fries among other delights. Mark quickly became the official photographer with many shots of the Seine, motorcycles ECT.

We then wandered around the Island, went back and took a bit of a cat nap. All except Mark. Then it was off on the subway to the Eiffel Tower. AWSOME was Marks description. All family members managed to climb the stairs to the first observation level. It was beautiful. Mark then decided he could climb to the next level, but Mom and Dad were feeling the lack of sleep and the first 300 steps so sent him on his way. Just as we were wondering if we would ever see him again, we catch sight of a descending elevator with two passengers, the guard and Mark. Once reunited we climbed the stairs back sown to ground level where we were met by the twinkling lights of a gorgeous tower. After a short walk to dinner, Mark promptly fell asleep before his dinner arrived. Good Night.
