I was able to put some pictures up orginally for Paris, but I will add some more from day 3.
Originally we were going to go Versailles but we decided to go with a more diverse experience. So instead we headed up to Montmartre. We ate lunch at a little restaurant where they spilled French Onion soup on my sister. We then walked up hundreds of steps to see the Basilique du Sacre Coeur. The view of Paris were great and the inside of the church was beautiful. They don’t allow pictures so you’ll have to trust me. We saw some really good street performers during this trip, music, magic, etc. But our favorite one we saw today in front of the Basilique. He did soccer tricks. We videotaped it for my son John because he has played soccer since he was 4.
Next we wondered through some of the streets and then took the Metro to Les Catacombes. I had really wanted to see them and since it looks very interesting. We were lucky enough to be the last group let in. Les Catacombes one and half miles of sometimes narrow, always winding and dark tunnels filled with the bones of people who died in the 1700’s.
I have enjoyed Paris and I am glad we came but I am ready to move on. I am ready to get to Ethiopia. But first I have to get there. We have to leave for the airport at 7:30 tomorrow. We have a 6 hour flight to Dubai, a six hour layover and then a 4 hour flight to Addis Ababa. We get in about 8:00 on Tuesday morning.
Time to move on....
