Paris Day 4

On Sunday morning, our last day in Paris, we went to another market/flee market/furniture market. We didn't take any pictures that morning.  Then we headed back to our hotel.  Of course, before we left, I needed to get one last crepe and Allen got one last ice cream!

Blurry Team Dickerson!

At the train station headed back to England. 

10 YEARS!!  What a wild ride it has been!  Allen is amazing and I am so thankful for the 10 years the Lord has given us together!  We are blessed!

Paris Day 3

On Saturday Morning, Joe, Allen and I headed out to find a market that was in our guide book.  It was a really developed market in a fun part of town.  There were street musicians and a few vendors.  It was just beautiful and fun to walk around.
 

 

 

After that market, we headed back to get Ashleigh and as we came up at our metro stop.  There was another market.  You could tell this was where the locals shopped.  Lots of fruits and veggie vendors and butchers.  Fascinating to watch everyone at the market.  We found an African stall and I had samosas for lunch.  Allen opted for the rotisserie chicken and potatoes that had been cooking in the drippings from the chickens.  YUMMY!!

From there we headed back to the Champs-Elysees for a Tuk-Tuk ride up to the Arc de Triomphe. 

Allen close and comfortable with our driver!

All of our group photos are blurry!!  UGH!

That night we went back to the Eiffel tower to see it light up.  Beautiful!

 

 

 

 

Paris Day 2

On Day 2, we went up the Eiffel Tower and went into the Louvre.
 

May 17, 2013  We have been married 10 years!!  It keeps getting better!

 

For lunch we went to a craperie!  YUM YUM YUM!!  The place was packed with locals.  So fun!

Joe and Allen!! Love these guys and their special friendship.

They were going through the butter in this place! 

Then we headed out to the Louvre.  It is a gorgeous building and HUGE!

Figuring out that we aren't really art people!  I think that we had more fun watching the people take pictures of the pictures and the comedy of some of the art work!

That night we ate dinner in a restaurant that was underground in an old chapel.  Beautiful and of course great food.

Allen studied this building in architecture.  All about the insides of a building being exposed on the outside.  It was in an interesting neighborhood...

 

Paris Day 1

Allen and I woke up early on Thursday morning and drove to a train station about 40 minutes from here.  We hoped on the Eurostar and were in Paris by 9:30!  Amazing!  The train was awesome and so easy to do. 

We met Joe and Ashleigh at our hotel and after a little breakfast headed off to explore Paris.  I think of this days as our churches day because we went to Notre Dam and Sacre Cur.  Not the prettiest day but still lots of fun to be in the city exploring!  We made a lunch stop at Chipotle, a favorite of ALL!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We climbed to the top of the Sacre Cur.  Beautiful evening overcast.  A really different view of the city. 

 

After that it started to rain, so we HAD to go into a little cafe and have a hot chocolate!  YUM YUM! 

That evening we went and the guys had steak frits(steak and fries).  You will quickly see that we did a lot of sightseeing and probably more eating!  The food was wonderful.
