Just another weekend in Paris...

Sorry for the delay in posts, it has been hard to find an internet connection in the last few days. Brussels was a really cool city and we were all very glad that we spontaneously decided to spend a night there. The first thing we did there when we arrived was dabble in some authentic Belgian crepés and waffles with fresh fruit; needless to say, it was delicious. We ate lunch at a tavern where we sat outside on a nice patio right along a nice street in the city. When we checked into our hotel, we set our bags down and layed down in our beds...we ended up falling asleep for 4 hours, I guess we needed it!!! The next morning we caught our train to Paris....

Paris definitely lives up to the hype. The city is so beautiful and there is so much history and culture here. I think the Eiffel Tower is my favorite monument we have visited so far in our trip. Also, we went to the Louvre yesterday and although many people have told us the Mona Lisa is disappointing, we all enjoyed it. We all wore our DJD Fight On shirts and got some good photos taken around the city. The first night we ate at a restaurant called Fontaine de Mars, which is the restaurant Barack Obama dined at when he visited Paris. We drank wine and ate French delicacies and it was delicious. Last night we went on a dinner cruise through the city. It was another really cool experience and it was a fun way to see the city. Today we visited Notre Dame and a few other cathedrals. We also toured the Catacombs, which is an underground tomb for millions of Parisians. The bones of over 6 million people were transported from cemeteries to these underground tunnels in order to improve sanitary conditions in the city. All in all, it was a very enlightening and interesting day.

Tomorrow we are catching our train to Interlaken, Switzerland, my most anticipated destination!! Also, Kyle turns 22 on the 14th while we are there.

The first picture was taken at Grand Place in Brussels which is in the center of the city. The next one is the Eiffel Tower at night and the last one is inside the Triangle at The Louvre.
