Vive le France

If our trip to Paris had a theme.

that theme.

would be.

This.

Yup, the Eiffel Tour.

You could see it from our room.

We roamed the park beneath it in the evenings.

We found the best restaurant in Paris just down the street called Cafe Eiffel.

So.

It's our theme.

I adore Paris... really one of the most beautiful places in the world. 

Love the art.

Love the culture.

Love the history.

Love the architecture.

Love the food.

Love the clothes.

Now that my heart is down on the blog... here are some pics from our stops.

Nate and the Arc de Triomphe

Me in Place de Concorde

Sainte-Chapelle

She's was a nightmare to get into.

But I dream in side *sigh

I <3>

Sacre-Coeur

We partook in the lovely sleep Sacre-Couer's hill had to offer as well

Pont-Neuf

oldest bridge in the city, and quite pretty

My favorite da Vinci

Nate's favorite item at the L'Ouvre

Yup, the pyramid

I love you.

London Calling.... Please post

I like London. 

I don't love London. 

It's strange to me too since I love English history, literature, music, people, etc.  But that is my official statement for the city.

Having said that let's go on our tour.

Mr and Mrs Clark in front of the Albert

Mr and Mrs Clark in front the the Tower Bridge.

I like the Tower Bridge.

Our amazing guide and host Michelle.

Love her.

And her man Niall.

They were so good to us while we visited and we had such a good time in their company NOT to mention we ate our best meals in London with them.

Thank you Mitch & Niall! Your oyster cards are sitting on my desk waiting for stamps! To be sent Friday, expect them mid-next week. I know... I am terrible.

We had a little tower time.

And a little Victorian time... This is pretty much as close as Nate gets to that whole era. 

I learned this from experience.

The Orangery

I know... amazingly cute. 

I made a big deal about wanting to have tea at the Orangery (per recommendation from Mitch) 

So we held off on a normal lunch and caroused Hyde Park and all the Victorian charm of Kensington Palace and finally arrived at the Orangery. I was quite taken with the romance of the whole place.

Nate was not unupset that 'tea' wasn't lunch.

Me trying to be English and a tea goer.

Nate, just himself, found the most lunchable item served at tea. 

Mushroom soup.

So he had two bowls

Hello Ben...

Thanks for the boost so I could see the guards.

Love you.

Loved our trip.
