Europe 2008
London and Paris!
Bill and I went to Europe with the Parents and two other couples this past week. Feb 6th- Feb 14th....
yes i got to spend part of valentines day in Paris!
We arrived in Paris at about 5pm their time and spent 2 1/2 days there. It is a beautiful city and the architecture is amazing. Our first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower was fantastic. It was the first night there while we were taking a boat cruise on the Seine river.We visited so much of the city in the short period of time we had. We went to Notre Dame walked up the 200+ stairs to the bell tower, visited the Louvre saw the Mona Lisa there (not a big as i thought it would be) drove by the Arc De Triomphe, we spent one day and went out to Versailles to see the Palace of Versailles. We all ate Crepes under the Eiffel Tower as it twinkled with lights.

Next we went to London
We flew into London and wasted no time at all. First we had to find our way to the "tube" the underground. that was a bit tricky since many stops were closed for construction... after a short ride and a couple transfers we made it to our hotel.
Here are a just a few of the things we did...
Went to the tower of london (bill's favorite part), Saw the Family jewels, Met a "Bobby" (Richard Hill) at the Changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, Went to Abbey Road, took pictures in front of the New Scottland Guard building and my favorite thing a walking tour of Jack the Ripper. AMAZING!
After an early tube ride to the airport, a delayed flight to Paris, a missed flight to the USA an extra night in Paris, we made it home late on Valentines day.
