Hello Paris

This past weekend Zach and I went on a bus tour of Paris with Nadja and Torsten.  It was amazing to see the city and are so grateful Nadja planned the trip.  When we arrived in Paris, we checked into the hotel and drove around to see some sites including the Eiffel Tower.  We then took a boat tour on the River Seine.  Our bus driver was crazy, constantly honking at everyone and making U-Turns in a giant tour bus.  Although, I would not to drive in Paris so I suppose we needed someone with his verve.  The river was beautiful, but it was very hot outside so we were glad to walk around.  After the boat tour we had a quick dinner.  We would have needed my dad's french skills if we were going to a sit down restaurant.  After dinner we walked around looking at Moulin Rouge, Sacré-Cœur Basilica and Art Nouveau Subway Entrances, then headed back to the bus. There was a short night tour where we saw the Arc de Triomphe and some wonderful Paris statues.  After a long day of bus rides and walking we had a French beer with Nadja and Torsten and headed to bed.
