Paris in 2 Days

Can I just say... Paris is one of my all-time favorite places on the planet. We loved every single minute of that fabulous city (even after walking for what seemed like an eternity and my legs felt like they just finished the Boston Marathon). It was a great time - and I have the pictures to prove it (in no particular order, of course):


At the Rodin Museum - "The Kiss"

You can see Rodin's "The Thinker" & the museum in the background where Napolean's tomb is kept
I got a little up-close and personal with "The Thinker"

The Socre-Coeur


Another shot of the church at Les Invalides
Another sculpture from Rodin


And another...

And more of the Rodin Museum


Courtyard area of the Rodin Museum - Paris was very cool in that there were many areas like this - parks, courtyards, etc. They were so peaceful and quiet.

This Rodin guy was a fan of sculpting naked people.

And random hands

This is the view from the top of the Arc de Triomphe - they say it's the best view of the city

And of course, who goes to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower?
The random guy that took our picture didn't quite "get" that we wanted the Tower in the background...
Notre Dame

Jeff on the Seine River

And after all was said and done, we indulged in some yummy pizza and lots and lots of wine...

We've definitely put Paris in our memory bank of places we need to visit again. We'll be back, Paris!
