Day 2 in Paris

Day 2 in Paris

After eating a breakfast of the most amazing croissants we have ever had (super cheap too!) we took the metro to the Trocadero exit which has the most amazing view of the Eiffel tower. I made Ryan close his eyes til we saw it. We walked past our engagement spot and then made our way to the south end of the tower to find out bike tour group. The group was only about 25 people and we all had cruiser bikes. The tour guide was fantastic and told us all about King Louise the 14 th, Napoleon, and the French Revolution. It's so amazing that this city is built on so much history.

One of the bridges we were standing on was made from the bricks from the Bastille prison that the revolutioners tore down. I just think it's so unreal that anywhere you walk in Paris contributed to history and the present. We got some great pictures, had crepes in the Jardin Des Tuileries which is the giant garden outside of the louvre. After the tour was over, we wandered into the Latin quarter by Notre Dame and even got to go inside while a service was going. That church is like Sacred Heart on steroids! It's actually having it's 850th birthday next year.

After we strolled past the Luxembourg gardens and bought some pastries at Dallyou which was on my list of places to try. And this point we're so tired we can not even figure out where our hotel is. Totally frustrating and after our outrageous cab ride, we were back and drugged ourselves with Tylenol pm haha. 12 hours later here we are about to go to the Louvre! More tomorrow!
