Paris Part I


 We left from Brussels to Paris on August 1. The only problem about the high-speed train is that we went backwards the whole way. So all of us sat back and tried to look at the countryside. 


We pulled into Paris and got on to another mode of transportation, busses (let's just say at this point all of us were tired of sitting from airplanes and trains!) we went through a sketch part of town that kind of worried us all, I'm talking about swarms and swarms of peoples and flies everywhere. But we quickly exited that part of town and got into the center of the city to our hotel "Le Grand Hotel" that sits next to the Opera House.



We got settled in and LOVED the view we had from our hotel room:


Woo-Hoo for the Eiffel Tower :D 


They had a very nice welcome dinner that was in the hotel we were staying at. The food was delish and pretty sure we couldn't get enough of our favorite dessert the chocolate cup pictured below:


They went all out with music, a singer, 4 course meal and the company wasn't bad! We made some really great friends on this trip, and being alone with Micah was amazing - we knew Isla was being spoiled to death back in Utah and we could stay out late, act like we were teenagers, go wherever we pleased, and sit at a dinner table for more than 40 minutes! 

The next 5 days were busy busy busy with tours, food, and walking! That part is still to come...
