Sights Of Paris

Oh my gosh, it wasn't a dream!  I am really in Paris!!
Today was an early morning bus tour through the city of Paris.  This was a great way to see the city as our guide talked about the history of Paris.  The buildings were magnificent and had me snapping my camera as fast as I could to try and capture the essence of French architecture

As if seeing Paris by bus wasn't enough, we also had the opportunity to see Paris while cruising on the Seine River!

The Pont de l’Archevêché or "The Love Bridge"

Now back on solid ground a few of us spent the rest of the day strolling the streets of Paris!  We had a great time at the Galeries La Fayette, but it certainly would have been a whole lot more fun if these high end shops were open!!  See, today is Sunday and I have learned that nothing is open in France on Sunday! 

But that doesn't stop me from enjoying the day and seeing more sites!  Like the Opera House and the Louvre! 


Opera House

Here's a little secret......You can buy advanced tickets for the Louve just inside the entrance and they are good for up to 1 year! 

 

I'll be back!

I've Been Bit By The Travel Bug

For all of you who may not know, I traveled to Australia this past December on a 20 day tour with a great company called Contiki.  I spent New Years in Syndey and saw the fireworks over the Opera House.  Got to hold a koala bear, played with a kangeroo, traveled to the whitest beaches in the world, stayed on a farm and took surf lessons.  Went white water rafting, kayaked with the dolphins, and zip lined through the rainforest.  Those are just a few things I did on my adventure.  And you can read more about my great adventure here carlasgreataustralianadventure.   I have to say I had the most amazing experience.  The sad part is I miss it already.  The good news is I picked up the travel bug!  So I've got a new agenda and looking to get into some trouble, he he.  Lots of new trips and journeys planned that I am excited to share with all of you.   So get ready to embrace the next few trips coming up.  Its gonna be a wild ride.  So the big question is, where am I going next? Before I reveal my answer, how about we play a game.  I want you to take a wild guess on where I am going next.  I will give you a little hint, its warm and humid, tropical, they have volcanoes, rainforests, and beaches.

Alright start you're engines, ready, set, go!!
