Paris!!

So the reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because I was in Paris, without access to a computer for about five days. But let me tell you Paris was unbelievable!! I love it. And I cannot wait to go back. I have done so much in the past couple of days I really don't know where to begin. So I am just going to highlight certain things in the next couple of days, that way I don't get tired of writing and you won't get tired of reading. Because If I told you about everything, you would be reading for hours!!

For starters, we had to get up at an ungodly hour on Wed to catch our TGV train in Avignon. But I got to see the sunrise over the valley, and that was something to see!! I found out that I love to travel by TGV train. Its fast, clean and you get to watch the countryside go by. And when I say fast I mean fast!! We had three minutes to board the train!!! That was all the time it was parked for and then it was off to Paris.

Our hotel was in the Latin quarter, just about four short blocks away from Notre Dame. And we got the top level room with a balcony :) The Latin Quarter is the tourist part of the city and there is always something go on. I got pretty good navigating this part of town and after that the metro system, which is better than even DC's metro. You can get anywhere on the Paris metro and it is so easy!!! SO what did we do first?? Lunch and after lunch?? We wandered around until we got lost and had to find our hotel again, so we could reorient. Before dinner we had to take a peak at Notre Dame!!! It was right there, why not right? We got there when the sun was setting and it was heavenly! After a quick bite, we explored the night life of Paris and ended up in a Piano Bar. A very nice little nook with live music mostly in French. It was a nice spot to end the day and have a glass of wine (which was the best I have ever had :))
