Farewell to the city of light and love ~

That would be Paris. We apologize for the sparse updates these past few days. We have been in a dead run most of the time to see as much of Paris as possible. We went to the Louvre Museum to visit the Mona Lisa and other great works of art then ventured to the Champs Elysees for some shopping and walked the length of it to the Arc de Triomphe and ascended to the top for a view and a few photos. Before the day/night was over we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a moon lit view of the city and were there for the crazy light show that occurs every night. On Saturday we went to Notre Dame for a tour and a hike up 400 steps to the top of the bell tower. Again much walking as it is the best way to see Paris. We ended the day with a fabulous dinner complete with four waiters and too many courses to mention. Finally, we took in the show "Lido" which started at midnight and lasted nearly two hours. The show is famed in Paris and is similar to Las Vegas shows. We were exhausted by the end of the show and limped back to the hotel. We were up early today to pack, have some breakfast, and are heading to the airport in a few minutes. Sorry that we don't have time to put up any pictures from our stay in Paris but will do so either tonight or Monday after we get some rest. Bye from Paris!
