Paris- the City of Love




Ok so Paris is amazing. You can see how people love it. So much history, so much atmosphere, so few road rules.



We did this bike tour last night which was really cool. We met at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower at 7PM and then started the 4 hour tour. So there is about 20 of us cyclists being led around by this great American tour guide who gave us two rules:



1.) Dominate every intersection



2.) Never look any taxi driver in the eyes



So it was great fun. We went around all the sites of Paris and he would explain the history behind them. And then when it finally got dark around 10.30 we were all put on a cruise boat down the river to see the lights of Paris. Magical.



We are off to explore some markets today. Should be good.



Love hearing from you all and how you're going.
