Goodbye Paris...Hello Munich!

Well, I don't have long because we are catching a night train to Munich, Germany soon. I am sad to leave Paris, because I have pretty much fallen in love with this city. We have done soooo much within four days.

Yesterday we went up te Eiffel Tower and walked around the city. Then last night we went to see the Eiffel all lit up. Every hour on the hour it sparkles and we walked up just in time to see the last sparkle show of the night....it was amazing! We joke and said it was just for us!

Today we went to Notre Dame and it was breathtaking of course. Then we walked along the river and grabbed a bite to eat before walking to the Louvre (See Nicole...last time I was just in a rush). It was gorgeous inside and out, though a bit overwhelming to say the least. We got to see the Mona Lisa...how crazy! From there we walked down Champs Elesse and saw the Tour de France riders on their test run (we are missing it by one day...bummer). This was the main shopping street. So we were in awe of course. At the end of the long row of shops is the Arc de Triumph which was also quite a site to see. We have walked a ton today in hopes of wearing ourselves out for the 11 hour train ride. We arrive in Munich around 8am ready to hit the ground running of course. Well I miss you all and can't wait to be back to see everyone early next week...what a crazy thought!

In Him
