I soaked up the rest of our time in Paris. It's a world of it's own, and it's such a beautiful one! The architecture, the Eiffel Tower, the river with it's many charming bridges. I have never thought of a city as 'romantic' until I came to Paris.
Sadly, Rusty had to leave back to Cambrai for practice the day after Christmas. He got to spend the first half of the day with us and then it was au revoir. This trip to Paris was so great because it was so much more relaxed than normal. I didn't have to rush around making sure I got to see all of the sights. My only goal was to make sure Susie and Russ were enjoying their trip, so I happily obliged to sleeping in, having breakfast in bed, and daily (Crio Bru) tea time.
Day
3: December 26th
Arc de Triomphe
One
of the LDS missionaries here told us that we can get to the top of the Eiffel
Tower and the Arc de Triomphe free with our French visa. So we brought our
passports, thinking all the tedious visa paperwork was finally going to pay
off, only to find out that you must be 24 years or under- ugh, the downside of
getting old ;)
The Louvre
I
can't figure out the layout of this place for the life of me. Susie and I got
lost for an hour, which was fine since there are things to see everywhere you
turn, but it can get frustrating if you are trying to get somewhere haha. How
French of them to make it confusing for tourists.
