After a quick 2 hour ride from London we arrived in Paris. So far Paris has been my favorite large european city. I thought the people there were very friendly and the city itself was beautiful! We visited the Arc de Triumphe, Orsay Museum, Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, St. Chapell and toured around the city. I think I actually liked the Orsay more than the Louvre, probably because I like impressionist paintings. The Eiffel Tower was really huge, and we called Meesha to wish her happy birthday from the 2nd deck. St. Chapell has the most impressive stained glass you could ever imagine, you walk up the the 2nd floor of the church and its just awe inpsiring. The pictures do not even come close to doing it justice. We also took a short day trip to Versailles, which was a far more impressive palace than Buckingham.
One evening we stopped by a famous ice cream shop called Berthillon, which had the best chocolate ice cream I've ever eaten. Overall the food in Paris was pretty good, even though we couldn't enjoy many of the dishes since they had meat. After a few days in Paris, we rented a car and headed down to Burgandy.
