Downtown

We got to go for a short tour of the downtown-ish area of paris. I was simply amazed. I have seen pictures but to actually be here is something else. I love the old buildings and the architecture and all the crazy winding streets. The mixture of modern and old design is just beautiful.

We saw the statue of Winston Churchill as well which I thought was pretty cool! There was a whole bunch of different things we got to see, and tomorrow we are going on our actual city tour so I will get photos then... but we are currently navigating through the tight streets of Paris and on our way to Versailles as I mentioned earlier.. until later!

  2. Hey Joe!

    Glad you made it to Paris safely. The pictures are looking awesome, keep on shooting? (did you get a new camera?) Did you hear any French Police car sirens yet like in movies?
    You have to try a Brie sandwich while you are there, if you love cheese you will love this sandwich.(I had one in the Paris airport and it was the ultimate-Christina)
    Looking forward to hear more, super proud of you man. Keep it up!

    Wil and Christina!
