Gay Pareeee

In Easter Nadia and I headed to Paris. It had been hyped up by a lot of people and I am pleased to report that it lived up to all expectations. There is so much to see and do and the food is AMAZING! I suspect that this trip to Paris wont be our last.

Above- Nadia and I take in the views from atop the Arc de triomphe including the Eiffel tower.

Above- Hotel des Invalides-Originally used to house wounded soldiers during the war it is now home to war memorabila and Napoleon's tomb. Above- Napoleons Tomb.

Above- Moulin Rouge

Above- Sacre-Ceur de Montmartre (Sacred Heart Basilica) built in 1875, is one of the most photgraphed things in Paris, 2nd only to the Eiffel tower.

Above- Notre Dame Cathedral.

Above left- The winged victory of Samothrace.
Above Centre- The famous pyramid which houses the Louvre- the biggest museum in the world- It must have been big as we spent well over half a day there and still did not see all the wings
Above right- The famous Mona Lisa- what the picture does not show you is the other 1000 people packed into a small room trying to get a look at the great painting.

Above left the Effiel tower at night and to the right with Nadia. The tour de Effiel is an impressive sight, the cues to get up however are not so great.
