So Much To See

Today's been a long and busy day. I fell asleep last night probably before 9pm. I was BEAT! But then, of course, at 5am i was wide awake, and feeling pretty damn home sick.

Amanda headed off to work and I stayed at her place. She came back with the little boy she takes care of (he had no school today) They came and brought me a really yummy pastry for breakfast, then it was off to Notre Dame!

It was really cool, and the weather started to get beautiful while we were there. I got some neat shots. I'd like to go back and take more time reading things, etc. I bought a little tour guide for it, so i may read that then head back there to "take it all in".

From there we came back home. I got to ride the bus, and the metro! It was kinda neat to experience that.
I thought this picture was coool too, it was taken outside the Notre Dame.

After we went to see Les Invalides when the boy Amanda nanny's was taking his kirate class. that was pretty cool. I think i'm going to head back there to take more pictures too;. They've got neat cannons and stuff. Louis XIV built this "hotel" to shelter the disable soldiers of his numerous campaigns. One of my ancesters, a gendarme (French horserider policeman) died there in 1847. At this time, it was a house for retired soldiers. Napoleon's tomb is here. The emperor's body is protected by 6 coffins and nobody dares to make an autopsy to discover if he was poisened by Hudson Lowe, his jailer, in 1821

Here's a pic on the walk there:

just as the sun was setting we went and walked over to the Eiffel Tower. It was sooo pretty in real life! I was standing there eating a chocolate crepe taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower. It was just so bizarre!!!!


amazing huh?!?
the last picture was during their light show they do every hour.. the whole tower twinkles! it's pretty cool
i got some video of it as well

so for right now i'm back at Amanda's until she's done work...which is fine with me! i'm all snuggled up in my bed with the laptop
i don't know what's up for tonight, but all i wanna do is SLEEP!
