Paris, France

7.2.08

• Took the metro to get around which was a 1st for everyone, but me.


• Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower such an amazing structure


• Then grandpa took Shaydon on his 1st carousel ride While the rest of us ate crapes with chocolate
  
• Then it was off to The Sacré-Cœur Basilica "Basilica of the Sacred Heart" is a Roman Catholic basilica it is located on the highest point in Paris.


• Went on a dinner boat ride up the Seine River which was beautiful to see all the sites we saw earlier that day, Mimi liked this because we didn't have to walk! The food was a 4 course meal that was delicious. We all tried lots of new things, including veal.
  
• Had drinks at the corner cafe and people watched. When you order water it's either flat or sparkling and comes in a small or large bottle that you pour into a glass.
  
• Our 1st night in the Kyriad Hotel I slept with Mimi and I think she wished she would of kept the ear plugs from the plane as Shaydon got up 3 times during the night. Which I thought was pretty good considering the time change, but Mimi didn't think so.


• Breakfast was on the plane "gross". Lunch was at "touristy" restaurant not very good food, but like the onion soup. Dinner on the Boat I had the cantaloupe soup, veal, and citrus sorbet for dessert.

• The Champs Elysees and the Notre Dame were our 2 stops for today


• Don't forget the bakery on the corner for some bread and pastry's (couldn't get enough of the chocolate crescent rolls)


• Loaded back into the Van that Franck borrowed from his work to hall us and our stuff back to Dudelange Luxembourg. About a 3 hour car ride through the green lush country, but not without some traffic. It was hard to stay awake some of the time because we were so tired, but we would miss out on our personal tour of the county side.
  
• Mimi stayed at Sonya's house while Me, Shaydon, Mom and Dad slept at Franck's apartment which was down town Dudelange Luxembourg


• Breakfast was at the Hotel buffet style(meat, cheese, breads, pastries, coffee, hot coco, OJ, fruit cocktail and prunes) Lunch at Dinner at McDonald's because nothing else was open. Most of the stores/restaurants close by 7:00pm and we got in late from France.
