More Paris...

Paris has been wonderful so far! Though a bit rainy, which hasn't been fun. Melody and I have gotten quite wet a couple of times!

So far, we have seen the Louvre (Mona Lisa!), Notre Dame (twice) and the Eiffel tower several times. Melody climbed the Eiffel Tower yesterday, but due to my fear of heights, I stayed down. Which ended up creating a huge confusion and I stayed at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower nearly 6 hours waiting for her. She had come down within about 3 hours and thought I had left (I hadn't) and basically we each thought the other was lost and thought the other would do the exact opposite of what we did. I didn't realize she would come down so quickly, so it wasn't until I was talking to some one about how long she had been gone that it ever occured to me that 5 hours was too long to be gone! She finally came back to the Eiffel Tower to look for me (after checking the hotel a couple times and other places) and we were both so thankful to find each other!

So that was our adventure for the trip!

We went out for her birthday last night and enjoyed a good meal in a French restaurant. Then had some amazing ice cream at this little shop where the guy was really nice to us. I also think he was amused by our mixed French and English. But like I said, everyone so far has been really nice to us.

We also saw Notre Dame again last night. Then we took a boat tour that ended at the Eiffel Tower that was all lit up for the night. Got some really beautiful pictures!

Have bought a few little items here in Paris. Mailed some postcards as well. Which was interesting trying to figure out the mail system! So hopefully they will arrive correctly...

Today we are doing some more exploring, and then back to London tomorrow!

We've become so dependent on cell phones that we don't make "what if" arrangements! I'm glad y'all survived the missed connection.

I love you both!

Must have been a bit scary to get separated like that. Glad it all worked out.
