As the halfway point of this amazing journey is quickly approaching, I realize I have been a slack blogger. Over the next few days (a week in Spanish time) I'll try to bring you to speed on some of the breath taking places I have seen, delectable cuisine I've tried, and unforgetable memories I've made.
    Close your eyes, let your heart begin to race (ok not to much no heart attacks) and grab an unbrella; it is November 10:30pm, local time, and we have just landed in Paris. We have only three days and so much to see! After finding our way to the hotel we toss our luggage into the room and make a run to the Eiffel Tower. My jaw is dropped and I have no words (very uncommon). I have never been so in awe of something man made. Looking back, I took around fifty pictures of this mesmorizing attraction.

     Fall is one of those seasons I didn't realize I'd miss and then I was captivated; by the smell, the vibrant yet tranquil oranges and yellows, the way leaves seem to fall with magical timing.
The next day we can't resist, and make our way back to the Eiffel for a daylight photo shoot. We forced ourselves to move onto our next excisting stop, the Louvre. I must admit like every other tourist my first stop was Mona. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed and intrigued. This 8x10 portraity managed to bring millions to her presence; all for a mysterious smile. I've never considered myself a lover of history (not even a little) but Paris brought history to life. Napoleon was no longer just a name in a history book and Notre Dame actually existed.
    I had a birthday to remember for years to come. Live music a traditional French stew, and great friends made my last night in Paris more than I expected!
Sunday quickly approached and our wallets quickly dwindled. We spent our last hours wandering around the city. We made our way back to the airport and Spain bound we were!
