First Day in Paris

After a long day of traveling, the four of us enjoyed a good night's sleep and not getting out of bed until 11 AM.

What better way to say bonjour to Paris than a walk to the Eiffel Tower.  We met up with Nana Ruthie Pooh and saw some street art along the way.

Instead of pinching ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming that we were in Paris, we took bites of our first croissants from that little bakery near the apartment we stayed at last year.

Ooh la la, look what's behind us.  The Eiffel Tower!

This is my third time in Paris, but first time going up the Eiffel Tower.  Seeing the city from the summit is quite impressive.  Paris is laid out very orderly with lots of green space sprinkled throughout many white buildings.

We ended our long day with dinner at 9:30 PM at Chez Ramy, J's favorite Lebanese restaurant in the 15th arrondissement.  The food is very good, but the baklava and halva are what draw us back.
