Paris


The Louvre Museum.
Notre Dame from the Seine River.

From observation deck of Eiffel Tower.

Greetings to all.  It is hard to believe that our 3 week journey is over.  It has been an incredible time and we are so thankful for all of your prayers and support.  We fly back tomorrow, so will do a more detailed update on our blog when we return.  Yesterday we spent a wonderful day in Paris, France.  We arose early and took the train through the English and French countryside and reached Paris 2 hrs and 15 mins later.  The weather was warm and sunny.  I think we even got tanned, in October of all things!  We went to the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower and then ate our ham baguette on a boat sailing down the River Seine while listening to Ave Maria as we watched Notre Dame go by.  We then explored the Louvre Museum and saw the Mona Lisa.  Today was a trip to Winston Churchill bunker and underground war rooms.  Absolutely fascinating!!  Got to go now and pack.  We'll have to admit to being ready to eat a full meal.  I think sandwiches are off the menu for quite a while after we get home.  We'll post more in a few days after we get home.
Carry On.
