Paris Recap

Sorry for the delay in posting. We are having to pay for internet since we left our Paris hotel.

Okay, so we left our hotel at 11:00 am on Saturday, but weren't getting on our train to Berlin till 7:30. We went and stored our bags at the train station so we didn't have to schlep (that's for you, Lisa!) them all over Paris. Then we went to the Catacombs. That was crazy. Millions of people found it as their resting place ... we got a few pics but weren't allowed to use flash so it was a bit tricky.

After the catacombs we went to the Rodin museum to check out the garden. Very beautiful. Of course we both got the Thinker picture taken. Rodin's sculptures are absolutely amazing.

Next we went to find the Sacre-Coeur (Sacred Heart) it's situated on a hill overlooking much of Paris. When we got there we looked up at it and opted not to climb the stairs as our legs were still dying from the 700 steps we climbed at the Eiffel Tower (though we did save a few Euro that way). At one of the little food stands nearby, we grabbed what I thought was our best meal in Paris (and cheapest). I will never complain for paying $2 for a soda and unlimited refills at a restaurant again!

We went on to find the Espace Montmartre (Dali Museum). We knew it was near the Sacre-Coeur, however, the area was just off our map. We wandered up & down steps (that we tried to avoid) and hills. Finally, we were able to get directions and stumbled upon it. Definitely worth the search. And since we climbed the hill, we headed back towards the Sacre-Coeur for a couple more pics. It was raining on us so we didn't get many.

After this we headed back to the train station to get our bags and wait for our train. Paris was beautiful, the architecture and history, absolutely amazing. It was also ridiculously expensive.

Next up: Berlin.
