More Paris Piccies

Since A. got here the day after Christmas, I have been dragging him all over the city. We've walked miles and miles and seen lots of pretty lights and nearly every museum in Paris. But here are a few pictures that we managed to take on days when it wasn't raining or being really foggy and cold.

Here we are in front of the Louvre when Aaron still had his enormous mountain man beard. He shaved it off a few days later and now looks 50 years younger!


Here is apparently the new way to view Paris - on a Segway. I'd like to see them battle some crazy Paris drivers though - that would be an interesting showdown!


Here are some strange items we found wandering around the art galleries and antique shops on the Left Bank on New Year's Day. Everything was closed so we window-shopped all day long without people wanting us to buy things. It was quite lovely, although freezing cold. Fortunately this dog is dressed for the weather.



This next photos make up what I like to call the "Notre Dame Collection." We caught it just at sunset, and the light was really beautiful as you can see in the first picture. Unfortunately we didn't quite make it to the other side to get the second picture before the light disappeared. And finally this is what it looks like at night with the spotlight on top of the Eiffel Tower.




And finally a shot of the sparkly Eiffel Tower from the Pantheon during a rainy night. We had just eaten a very large meal of Tibetan food so were sort of groggy, and unfortunately the sparkly lights don't show up very well in photos, but you can just imagine what it must have looked like.


The sun is out today for the first time in several days so hopefully we will find some other fun things to see. I also must get a picture of my new, and very stylish, beret and my newly mullet-free hair (Aaron had to cut it because if you go into a salon in Paris, you will undoubtedly emerge with an even worse mullet).

Hope you all had happy New Year's celebrations!
