Last day in Paris

Bonjour from Paris... last time we will get to say that :( since we leave early tomrrow morning for Switzerland.

Since we didn't fill you in much on our day yesterday, here's a quick run down of what we saw...

The Louvre - it was closed yesterday so we are headed back today to check it out. Shelley, from the outside we louvred it! :) Through the windows it looked amazing too.

Notre Dame - such a pretty church! I can't believe the condition its in after so many years. The detail on the buildings is so neat. We lit a candle here.

Pont Neuf - oldest bridge in Paris

I'sle Saint Louis - cute little island near Notre Dame

Champs Elysees - wow... I had no idea what to expect and definitely wasn't expecting that. It's like Michigan Avenue times 10. This is where Benecio del Toro's premiere was... I still think its pretty neat how close I was to him!! Every store you can imagine is in this area. We were off the beaten path a bit and saw all of the designer boutiques... Chanel, Givenchy, Valentino and on and on.

Arc de Triomphe - we had a little history lesson here and learned about the eternal flame that has been burning since ww1.

After all that we had another delicious dinner at a restaurant near our hotel. Taylor, you would've loved my meal... fresh scallops and LOTS of veggies. Dad you would've loved the snails (Shell, I liked your joke :)) and Mom the desserts here are amazing!!

Off to the Louvre...

Like Taylor said - WOW! and double WOW!! I love being able to follow your fabulous journey through Europe. Can't wait to see what you bought me from any one of those designer shops - or not! Enjoy your last day in Paris and look forward to doing a little yodeling in Switzerland.

Mom and Dad - Did you see any of my relatives while you were in Paris? Any poodles or doodles walking down the streets? I'm being such a good dog while you're gone. Gma and Gpa even let me stay out in the house while they went to Taco Tuesday last night! I was PERFECT while they were gone! Miss you lots and lots. Love you, Lola
