Europe is amazing... two hours on a train and hello new country! We took the first Eurostar out of St. Pancras to France and got to Paris just as the bustle of the city began. We took the Metro towards the Seine, bought postcards (you're welcome family), walked about a mile in the wrong direction and stopped for a very French bite to eat.
Once we refueled [with a Cafe Americano, thank you] we hit the sites. Tourists to a tee[hee].Their porta-potties are MASSIVE... and automated. But the stench never changes. Even though these do flush- still, stagnant human excrement. Appetizing.
My biggest must-see had to be the Arc de Triomphe. My home in Atlanta overlooks a miniature Arc and it was incredible to see the real deal up close and personal. But HOLY ROUNDABOUT! The real Arc was heavily guarded by cars, buses, carriages, taxis, bikes- any and every fast-moving could-kill-you-if-you-got-in-front-of-it mode of transportation... so we took tourist pics from afar.
Then we saw it. Just the tip... at first. A little tease. Then- the Eiffel Tower!!
Another Paris post tomorrow. Bed tonight.
