Sacre Coeur at night

Place St. Michel Fountain

we learned that you can tell how a person died by the way his horse is standing...one leg up in front and one leg up in back means he died of unnatural causes (this guy was killed by the guillotine)...two legs up in front means he died in battle, and all four legs on the ground means he died of natural causes

Pont Neuf Bridge - aka the bridge of love - each lock is put there by a man to symbolize his "permanent" love for whoever. He is supposed to buy a lock, write on it, lock it to the bridge, and throw the key in the river, symbolizing the permanence of the lock, and of course his love.

Dinner the first night - croissants and brie cheese , wine, and the French version of the hot dog (two hot dogs in a baguette baked with cheese on the top). We also had crepes, but we ate those before I took a picture of our first dinner.

Yay, le Tour Eiffel!!

SO COLD, but we made it to the top!
