View from the Eiffel Tower. We climbed up and down all the stairs to the second level (as high as you can go on foot, which is the equivalent of a 41-storey building). We went in the morning. Apparently the same day we were there, in the afternoon, they evacuated the Tower because of a terror threat. We knew nothing about that while we were in France.
Brad's sis with a cute waiter from the restaurant just below the apartment we rented in Paris. He was a great guy and was actually the person who took us to the apartment and gave us the key. We ate at that restaurant the first night because we were too tired to go any farther, and it was so close and he was so cute! He's Italian, not French, and we never did get his name - next time!
Along the embankment of the Seine.
Usually, I'm not nearly as grumpy as I look!

Nice pics. You don't look THAT grumpy, lol. Sounds like you guys had a great time in France. And nice weather too. The last time I was in Paris it was freezing. Nice view from the tower. I see they've added a few more buildings to the La Défense skyline.
I'm sure the vacation went by much too fast, as they usually do. But it's always nice to get away, no matter what. :)
Looks like fun. Someday Navarra and I will make it over there.
We need to catch up Jeff. Email trevor.good@shaw.ca, I switched jobs and lost your info.
Hi Jim! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, that's the only area of Paris where there are any skyscrapers to speak of. And the trip did go by all too quickly, but it sure IS good to get away from the routine for a while.
And Trevor - Great to see you! I'll definitely drop you a line very soon!
Look like a wonderful trip you guys had there!
