Day 2:
I love any country where wine counts as a basic food group. Here, you have cheese, bread, ham, chocolate, and wine. Still hungry? Have a Marlboro Light on the side.
I may have died and gone to heaven. Everything I have eaten would make my grandmother cringe. So bring on the goat cheese and the pomme frites! Not a salad (worth eating) in sight. Unless you want a mayonnaise dressed patch of wilted weeds, then more power to you.
The sights are beautiful. First stop, saw the Eiffel Tower today, pretty distinguishable as far as buildings go. Also, the Arc de Triomphe, I'm pretty sure I saw it on a post card or something once, very cool at night with a fantastic view of the city from the top. Well at least so I hear. Technically speaking, we didn't make it to the top of any buildings. My dad has a fear of heights and mom and I were enjoying our well balanced meals of wine and cheese far too much to risk a wobbly walk to anything higher then the steps up to the Louis Vuitton store. But when I got back to the apartment, I googled what it looks like from the top, and it's pretty spectacular.
