Paris

This is my second time to Paris on my trip with Uncle Denny and Cousin Chris. We stayed at the five star Marriot Rive Gauche near the Montparnasse neighborhood. The hotel was amazing!! The staff kept calling Uncle Dennny a veep for VIP. It was really funny.

Notre DameThe Louvre
Marble Arch at the LouvreJardin des Tuileries outside of the LouvreLuxembourg Gardens
Panthenon
St. Eustache next to Les Halles.

Les Halles
Pigeon's Feast. Sick!!! Europeans are not as disgusted by Pigeons as Americans are.
Theres Chris, the little monkey guy in the middle with a sword!
This is from our Bataboat Cruise.
This is the huge ship that our cruise boat captain turned our boat into. Really scary. There was a school trip of kindergartners on the boat and I screamed and cried more than any of them. lol. The boat hit right behind our seats. Uncle Denny had to yell at Chris and I to get up because we were just staring at it coming. The boat company said we could wait for another boat and go again. I had none of that. We got our money back.

The damage. The funny thing is that Cristian and I went on the same boat company for New Years. I didn't realize it then. Thankfully there were no accidents and I got to see the whole river.Piaza
Pretty building facade.
Uncle Denny thought the recycling bins were neat. We even have some in a few Romanian cities. Sadly, it doesn't mean they actually use them. This restaurant was on the corner from our hotel.
This is the little dog that lives in the restaurant above at night time. This would never happen in America. During the day he runs around outside freely.
Eiffel Tower
Les Invalides- Church Dome finished in 1708. Napoleon Bonaparte is buried here.
This is the memorial to Princess Diana. She died under the overpass that it sits on.
Arc de Triumph
This is one of the busiest intersections in Paris and there are no lines marking the lanes. Very crazy traffic.
Père Lachaise Cemetery- buried here are Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt, Chopin, Jean Baptiste, Jim Morrison and many more famous people.
Sacre Coeur in Montmartre

Christina, Very nice job putting together all the pics from our Paris Trip with Chris and I. Glad you remembered what we were looking at and made notes.

Hopefully Aunt Linda, Chris and I can all come back and visit you and Christian sometime soon!
