Aaahh, Pari!


Romance, character, art, crossants, little dogs, and tourism. We conquered the Louvre, saw Mona Lisa, The Thinker, The Kiss, The Eiffel Tower, The crepes, The bread, and The cheese (thanks, Scott - an Alaskian chef we met on the ferry - for the recommendation), walked, walked, and walked. You know, after the Eiffel Tower climb, I can't say that I felt any more romantic, though after I saw the Kiss, I was amazed at how much romance a beautiful stone sculpture can have. With all the culture above ground we saw the heart of the city in our time below the in the metro. From serrinades to a man who would do just about anything for food. Though not as friendly as it's name illudes to, the Young and Friendly Hostel - even with the shampoo theif and free not free internet was a great location for amazing atmosphere, new friends - Zak and Andrew, and great food treats. Now on to Pisa we go....
