Bonjour

We are currently in Paris. It has been easier to get around than I thought it would be-the Metro (or subway), is pretty easy to navigate. We went to Notre Dame, La Fayette Galleries, and the Eiffel Tower today. We went to the Eiffel Tower at night, so we were able to see it lit up-it was very pretty.

We plan to go to the Louvre tomorrow and Saint Sulpice. I think Saint Sulpice became a bit more famous after the Da Vinci Code became so popular.

We're going to Champs Elysses and Sacre Coeur on Thursday and heading back Leeds on Friday. So far, I'm enjoying Paris and everyone (for the most part) has been friendly. We had one rude guy who worked for the Metro. We bought day passes that should have worked all day on the Metro, but mom's only worked once and mine only worked twice. We wanted new ones that worked and he was very rude and would not help. I asked the other worker to please speak to a supervisor and that helped- they gave us new ones.
