Bonjour from Paris. All is wonderful. The sites are spectacular and especially at night. Last night I did an awesome tour by bicycle to see Paris all lit up. The Eiffel Tower was excellent and on the hour for five minutes they really make it sparkle. Our tour guide was terrific and we dominated the road. There were 22 people in our group, but Paris is really bike friendly with shared lanes for busses, taxis and bikes. Notre Dame Cathedral is quite the site. Part of the tour was an hour long boat cruise complete with red wine. It gave a really good view.
I went to the Catacombs yesterday. It is full of over 7 million bones. It was an underground mine used for mining limestone and when the cemeteries were full they filled it with bones. Creepy.
There are tons of buskers here and the streets really come alive at night. They are terrific as well, drawing big crowds. Only in Paris would a couple be all dressed up and busking by dancing.

Hey
Great pictures again - Karen and I were in Paris from Jun 29-Jul 5 - great weather - HOT! - 33-35 degrees and sunny - spent most evenings buying food at the grocery or on Rue Cler and walking to a park to eat - inexpensive but still so good! What a great and safe city - like walking through a living museum. We walked up the Eiffel Tower this time - cheaper - and fun - good work out - didnt go to the top a storm was coming.
Hang in
