Paris

I just returned from an amazing trip to Paris. I can't believe that I waited this long to go there! I had such an incredible time in the city I can't even pinpoint what my favorite experience was.

I can tell you my least favorite part though. The Eiffel Tower. I mean...from the ground it's amazing. However from up on the top, it was the most frightening experience I have ever had. Let me preface this by saying I am absolutely terrified of heights, and we decided to go up on a night when it was really windy. It took rides in two different glass elevators to "catapult" me to the top of it, and while I was up there the tower just swayed and rocked. I went with a group of friends and I literally got up to the top, stepped out of the elevator and immediately walked to the que to go back down to the bottom again. I was not impressed! The views are incredible, but I didn't even have wit about me to let go of the railings so that I could free a hand to take a picture. Doh!

I took a lot of pictures while I was there, of course I'll post the slide shows but it's probably easier just to go over the the picasa page and check them all out:

Ok, well I want to write more about all the museums and churches, the amazing cuisine and the shopping but I MUST work on my class stuff now so I can't do it. But I'll be back sometime in the future to tell you more.
