Paris was grand!

This will be a short post for now...we´ll try and update again soon! Paris truly was an amazing city. Among our many adventures, we had so much fun trying to converse in French. It was almost a daily occurance to sit by a major site (Eiffel Tower, etc.) and share a baguette and a bottle of cheap wine! We loved everything about the city. We did all of the typical ¨touristy¨stuff there was to do - climbed the Eiffel Tower, took and boat cruise down the Seine, saw Notre Dame, Saint Chappele, the Louvre, the Orsay, Sacre Couer Basilica, Napoleon´s tomb, and many other things. We stayed in our first hostel which, despite not much sleep, was very fun. We had several great roommates from all over the world - Scotland, Brazil and the States. We met up with some local Parisians who are co-workers with my uncle Paul. We had an apertif (appetizers) and wine with them, and enjoyed Paris with the great locals! What a trip we´ve had so far. We just arrived in Madrid- we took the overnight train from Paris. We are on our way out to go see the Prado and perhaps a bullfight! We love you all! Thanks for following us in our adventures.

Au Revoir!
