Paris, France

Paris, France
Paris reminded us a ton of New York City… except we couldn't communicate with anyone! It is a very large city and we were proud of ourselves for quickly learning the subway system. We loved taking in the sights… and almost melted in the heat during the day. The Eiffel Tower really makes the city magical and the gardens are a must see. 

Favorite Memory 
I have two. One night, we went to a local grocery store (we love to do as the locals do) and bought wine, meats, cheeses and dessert to create our own sunset picnic at the Eiffel Tower. We watched for hours as afternoon turned into evening and the Eiffel lit the night sky. Every hour it sparkles for 5 minutes… and it is so magical to watch. Everyone gasps each time. On our last night, we popped a bottle of champagne in our hotel room as the Eiffel began to sparkle at 10PM… it was a great way to end our time in such a romantic city.

- While this hotel had the tiniest rooms known to man, what I loved the most was that you could see the Eiffel Tower from our room. -
