Day two:
we went the Eiffel tower, pretty amazing. The coolest part was at night when we were leaving the lights were on, and that looked pretty neat. After the Eiffel tower, we went to Napoleon's tomb. That wasn't as cool as I had hoped for. just a box. oh well.
The army museum was pretty neat, lots of cool guns and bombs and such. They had a lot of old uniforms, and my favorite was the old french helmet (it had a chicken on the top.) After that, we went to the Rodin and saw the thinker, and Balzak. Rodin made some pretty neat statues, but all the people had legs, feet, and hands that were waaay to big proportionately to the rest of their bodies. We also walked down Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. We climbed up the Arc and looked out over the city, that was a pretty neat sight.
We went out for supper with Jasper and his girlfriend in a little African cafe, that was pretty neat, except they played banjo and country music. how annoying.
Day three:
We went to Notre Dame, which was amazing, my favorite thing so far. We will climb to the top tomorrow, but the inside was really great. There were lots of big, really cool stained-glass windows. I like those alot.
The Cluny museum was pretty cool, lots of old religious things (altars, relic holders, etc.) There were a lot of really small, very intricately designed things. We also walked to this delicious little ice cream store in the Ile. St. Louis. They had these neat double-headed ice cream cones.
Thats all for today, tomorrow we will climb Notre Dame, and go to the Louvre, and the Orsay!

"Double-headed ice cream cones"
Gotta love the French ;)
Wow, you're doing so many great Parisian things. Congratulations on your navigating success!
Woo-hoo you found the ice cream on the Ile St. Louis--I'm impressed. Was it the same one as we saw on the movie--Berthillon? And was it the best ice cream ever? Maybe it's hard to judge in 30-degree weather...
Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
so...did you guys play hunchback of notre dame or what? :D
