Visiting the Eiffel Tower and the cathedral of Notre Dame


Flowers for sale at the open air market at the metro stop Place de Fetes



Georgia has a shirt with the tower on it and it is one of the sights that the girls readily recognize as Paris. Look. No rain.

I love the Internet and all of the treasures that are available such as this one of statues on the Eiffel Tower


We got on a bus close to the Eiffel Tower and traveled past a few memorable sights before getting off the bus close to Notre Dame



























Once again the line to go into the cathedral was overwhelming.  We decided to walk across the bridge to the Latin Quarter to look for onion soup. Instead, we ended up eating crepes on the street.  We went passed Cluny and discovered it was completely closed for renovation.  It has been an interesting trip to Paris.
