Travel Blog 1 Minute
The Eiffel Tower.

As background, I am traveling with my oldest daughter Sara. We both had uneventful flights from the US to Paris. By 10:00 AM we were enjoying breakfast at a cafe across the street from our lodgings.

We started our with a pain de chocolate.
Followed by scrambled eggs and bacon.
We are staying at a very nice two bedroom apartment.

After we checked in and dropped off our suitcases we embarked on a whirlwind day of sightseeing.

What a beautiful building on the Seine.
The Seine with the Eiffel Tower in the upper left hand corner of the picture.
After strolling for a couple of miles along the banks of the Seine we joined a group walking tour. Thomas was our guide. Thomas loves history and he especially loves the history of Paris. We learned so much during our three hour walking tour with Thomas.
The entrance to the Louvre. We did not go inside the Louvre. However. we did walk around the outside and it is huge.
A triumphant arch to commemorate one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s victories.
St. Michael ‘s Square.
Notre Dame.
The building where the French Supreme Court sits.
After the walking tour we found a nice cafe with outdoor seating and had an early dinner. We both had the chicken bowl and I washed it down with a Parisian craft beer.

That’s it from Paris. I hope you are having a good day wherever you are.

I've been retired from the Union Pacific Railroad since 2017. I've been planning to walk the Camino for about 6 months and can't wait to get started.

  1. If you want to go in the Louvre, buy a private tour ahead of time. It’s too immense to try and navigate on your own and they’ll make sure you see the Mona Lisa.
