Carly and LeeAnn are in Paris and wow is it huge! So far we have seen Notre Dame and it is huge and beautiful. Then it took us 2 days non stop to go through the Louvre and you guessed it, it is HUGE and beautiful! What is it about standing and walking slowly around all day long that makes your feet hurt so bad. We came limping out! Carly loved the greek statues the most and then the endless paintings but some of the coolest exhibits were the Louvre itself. The ceilings were painted masterpieces and the actual building itself was lived in and furnished which there were examples of the actual apartments that the royals lived in.
We also went to Versaille and that was HUGE and spectacular. The gardens were massive and unique with little mazes all through them. It was fun to imagine living in opulence back then.
Tomorrow we go to the Eiffle Tower and that will wrap it up for the highlights of Paris. Of course we have enjoyed more than I have written and we will have many stories to tell when we get home.
