Nancy insisted on the title...
We have had a busy couple of days. Leaving Brussels went very smoothly. After our very comfortable train ride, we embarked on our journey to find our hotel in Paris. Our grand illusions of easily finding our hotel were shattered. Our planned route developed into a sit down at a cyber cafe to regroup and find our way. WARNING! Do not use GOOGLE MAPS for European cities. Some streets are not correctly labelled, oh well.
We found our hotel to our great relief, and had a little nap. When we awoke, we decided to venture out into the city. We took a looooooong walk along the Seine River to the Eiffel Tower. Apparently, everyone else decided to do the same thing, but before us, for there were extremely long lines to go up the tower. Hours later, we found ourselves looking out over the city skyline as the light show began.
Then we decided to do more walking... to the Arc de Triomphe. Unfortunately we didn't get to go inside to the top, as it was closed. Finally, we decided to take the metro instead of walking back to our hotel.
Day2 (it's getting late, going to bed now)
Amazing day of art. Went to the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay and Centre Pompidou... simply amazing. My favourite day of art viewing ever. Nancy was very patient :) but she enjoyed it too.
Big day planned tomorrow... must sleep now
Goodnight
