Well this is it... A month has passed! Its really hard to belive. The trip has been more than we could have imagined and more. Now were in Paris on our last night and were off to splurge a bit (just a bit) by having a nice dinner. After that were headed to the eiffel tower again to see it lit up. We can see it from our hotel and there are twinkling lights all over it.... ITs defintely worth a picture.
So as for the past few days... Well we were in Monaco soaking up the sun on the most incredible clear blue beach... Its was sunny and the water was warm and it was free! We made sure to pack a lunch because Monaco is SO expensive. We saw the casino and Bentleys, about 9 ferraris (no joke), Lambourginis ( not sure how to spell it) and every other ridiculously expensive car you can think of. More people were tqking pictures of the cars than the landscape. Oh and the yachts at Monacos port were unlike anything weve ever seen. They could house whole towns. Rich people... who really needs a yatch anyways?! I thought the water taxis in venice were much more impressive ;)
So now Paris... It was a hard transition coming from the warmth to cold rainy paris... We also took a night train because all the trains were booked and yet we couldnt get a bed so we slept sitting up! We went straight to the louvre after we arrived to Paris at 8am and obviously beat the lines. We were at the Louvre for about 4 hours. Then we went to the Eiffel Tower and conquered it of course. Next stop was L'arc the triophe and the champs elises. Weve done lots of walking and seen the sacre coeur at Montmartre and l'eglise notre dame. Oh and we had dinner last night and I figured Mark should try creme brule since it is an amazing french dessert...He ate one bite and refused to eat the discusting creme and sugar dessert...Doesnt it jsut sound gross. He tried a warm banana and chocolate crepe today and what else....he hated it! I dont mind though because Ive gotten to eat his deserts...Not bad eh!
Okay weve got to go...the internet is expensive as always and were off to CAnada tomorrow...See you all soon!
Michelle and Mark
