Hello to All again. Paris has come and gone, and we are now in Dijon, France.
Paris was amazing. To much stuff to see and not enough time, so here are some photos of the stuff we saw.




Sunset view over the River Sienne, near our Hotel.


One of the many underground Metro Stations. Many rides were had on the Metro.



Skull from Catacombes, an old underground quarry mine that was filled with the bones of over 6 Million dead people, which were dug up from their graves, back in the 1700's.

View of Notre Dame at night, an old Cathedral and once home to Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. We toured this during the day and walked up the many stairs to the bell tower, where Quasimodo got his name from being the bell ringer.

This explains the 7 flights of stairs to get to our Penthouse Suite. Buildings this old don't have elevators, and Darcie's legs burn every time we go back to rest.

Francois Michelle. Brown cap and Moustache.

The oldest Church in Paris, which was just around the corner from our hotel.

The Eiffle Tower at night. We took the lift to the top, but decided to walk down the stairs, due to the long line. On the walk down, the view and height made us dizzy. The tower from a distance (the top of Notre Dame, many km away) didn't look that big, but when we finally walked up to it, it was impressive.

One of the many University Buildings near our Hotel. We stayed in the Latin Quarter, home to most of Paris's Higher Education Buildings.

Darcie hanging out at night, in front another of the many crazy Buildings.
Anyways...we just had our first day in Dijon, and tommorrow are renting bikes to go the winery country.
LATER EVERYONE!
Love Darcie and Mike or Mike and Darcie

Keaton is still wondering what the heck is taking M & D so long to come over.
