We had lunch at Quick. Sierra had fancy stuffed donut holes. She left them unattended. It was hard not to eat them. I behaved and only took a photo instead.

Eiffel Tower

We took the stairs to the first 2 levels. Oof. All 669 stairs. My feet hurt. We had been walking a lot already before this trek up the stairs. And now my calves hurt too. But, if we hadn't done it, weЧитать далее

Catacombs of Paris

Nobody told me there would be a bunch more stairs today! The catacombs are very deep down a creepy spiral staircase. It was almost nauseating going round and round the stairs. It was super coolЧитать далее
Hopital la Salpatriere
15 ноября 2016 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
This wasnt the most visually exciting stop of our trip, but for me it was special. I have family history here... going back more than 350 years. The story behind it is a bit of a read, but here it isЧитать далее

Bateaux Parisiens 2
15 ноября 2016 г., Франция ⋅ 🌫 12 °C
Ok fine... here are some photos of things from the boat. Again.. sorry for the quality on some, it was hard to get photos at an angle where you don't see reflections on the glass.
Stairs

Palais Versailles
16 ноября 2016 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Once again I am in awe of the size of this place. Now that I'm older and taller, the palace doesn't feel like it's any smaller... in fact it's bigger than I remembered.
La Petite Venise
