This morning we got up and at breakfast at our favorite bakery, La Flute! Then we walked about 4 miles to the Eiffel Tower. When we got there and were in line to walk up the stairs to the second deck it started to rain, and then pour! Nooo, not on Eiffel Tower day! So, we said we are doing it anyway! How often can you climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower in the rain? Not often. It was still a lovely view from the top and we ran into an Australian family that we had met at Notre Dame yesterday!
After the Eiffel Tower we bought an umbrella for 4 Euros and headed to find some lunch! We had a fabulous lunch at this little cafe nearby and then went off to the Arc de Triomphe! There were some goings on there today with lots of firemen and police officers, so we couldn't go inside, but it was still nice to see and walk around.
Then we headed down this huge street, full of places to shop to the Lourve! We got into the Lourve for free and walked and walked some more. We saw the Mona Lisa and Venus (Aphrodite) and Rapheal and on and on. The place is enormus! We walked around for about 2.5 hours and then called it quits.
We walked home and got to hang out with our new roomies (two girls from Canada and one from Lithuania). The are a riot! Tomorrow is a big day and people are waiting for me to get off this computer, so that is why the details are few and far between:(
It is also quite cool here. Brrrr.
We love you and miss you!
Amanda and Katie

I saw that it was 62 degrees for the high today in Paris. It was 90 something here! Sorry it rained on you but like you said it is still the Eifel tower! The Louve sounds amazing...so why is Mona Lisa smiling? Call Daddy tomorrow. He wants to hear your voice! Love ya, Mom
Uncle Jim & I have been in Montana so have just caught up with all your postings. Glad the suitcase thing worked out. Everything sounds fantastic, and the pictures!!!! Have a wonderful time.
