Paris - I like you

I don’t love Paris like Kathryn loves Paris, but I like it pretty well. We hit the ground running - no time for jet lag. There is too much to see: Up the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysees/Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Musee D’Orsay, Sacre Coeur, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame… and not enough time to eat all the baguettes and crepes! I don’t know a thing about art, but seeing art museums with Larissa was like having my own guide. They aren’t kidding when they say it would take 9 months to see everything in the Louvre. At one point, we were a bit lost and had trouble finding our way out. The Eiffel Tower lit up at night is amazing- Dad could get some Christmas light ideas. We were also able to spend some time with a girl who Larissa and I both know from way back and who Larissa ran into when she first arrived in Paris. Larissa went to junior high with Claire, and I played soccer with her. The highlight of Paris for me was going for a Vietnamese dinner and eating chocolate and banana crepes with Claire and Larissa while we waited for the lights of the Eiffel Tower to come on. There was still plenty of things to see, and we could have stayed for several more days, but decided it was time to explore a smaller town in France.
