We spent a couple days in Paris before we jumped on a flight back to the US.  We stopped here once before over a month ago on our way from London to Interlaken.  Over a month ago, that seems so weird to say.  When we stopped before we spent the day at the Louvre and the Touleries?  There are a lot of beautiful parks in Paris.

 This time we went to the Eiffel tower and took a trip to the top.  All in all about two hours of waiting in line.  You wait at the bottom, then at the second floor elevator, then to go back down, then one more time for the next elevator.  Worth it for the best view in Paris?  I think so, Lindsay would disagree. 

We walked down the Champs Elysee (though most of the stores were closed on Sunday) to the Arc de Triumph.  We ate at a restaurant that Lindsay loved along the Champs called L'Entricott.  Good steak frites with bernaisse sauce!!

 I got tickets for the Moulin Rouge.  A little pricey since the movie came out, but it was a lot of fun and included a bottle of champagne.   Before the show we had an amazing dinner at a little cafe that we found near the Moulin Rouge.  Awesome duck and scallops for dinner and creme brulee and chocolate truffle for dessert.

We're actually back in the US now.  It feels really weird.  It's a little bitter sweet, there are some things we missed while we were gone (like Gator Football), but now we're sad that it is over.  If only I could get paid to travel!!!  I've settled back into work and look forward to returning to several of the places we went someday, but not all at once.  For now, I'll have to just look forward to seeing everyone and watching the Gator's and Bears have tremendous seasons.
