Took about a day to acclimate to the language, crowd, and energy of Paris.  London was easier but Paris is where we'd go back to given a chance to explore more of the Marais, food, architecture, and food.

Arrived at our Paris apartment


Super creaky floors, the Cutty Sark had a better deck

Notre Dame is a HUGE structure

Many different building styles

One of the most expensive areas to live in Paris, Ile de la Cite







Tourist were awful, from the Chinese with selfie sticks (on brought his saxs to play badly to his girlfriend on the boat), to rude Germans, and pushy Italians.  Were were perfect of course! 

Fun to be with the boys
