Back from Paris!

We had a great time in Paris, enjoying the sites, food and people.
Took hundreds of photos, but will only force a few upon the blog.


Best way to insure a good flight?


Arc de Triomphe, just two blocks from our hotel.



Obligatory Eiffel Tower photo.





The Seine River


We toured the Catacombs. A little eerie, but fascinating.

 Le Defense area, 
with modern buildings and artistic flair.


Sculpture?


Imagination!


Sidewalk Cafes
We spent a lot of time and even more money at them, 
but there's no better place to relax and people watch.


Lyle captured this colorful view.


Yes, we caved! 
We had to try it once (OK, twice), and have to say Starbucks is even better overseas, 
but still not as good as the coffee of the French cafes.


We spotted this in an art market in the Marais. 
Almost bought it, and kind of wish I had.


Easter display in our hotel. 
The lobby smelled so strongly of chocolate it was almost overpowering.
 Very pretty, at least until people started breaking off chunks of it.
