Day 3: Paris

Bright and early, we set out for the Eiffel Tower. Before getting in the lengthy line of cranky tourists and hyper kids, we bought chocolate banana crepes from a street vendor. You can’t help but be zen when you’re eating this!



We both agreed that the Eiffel tower is one of those cliché landmarks that completely lives up to the hype. We took the elevator to the top where we transformed into Paris paparazzi.









By the time we were back on the ground, we were hungry again. We bought Parisian hot dogs (but wimped out on the vin chaud). We headed to Champs Elysses for a little shopping and to see the Arch de Triumph.



After wasting a few dollars in currency exchange, we lugged the evidence back to the hotel. We had a glass of wine, changed, and left for Le Coupole. This was a guide book-recommend. We ordered wine, salad, and fish and the most decadent profiteroles on the planet.





Sarah and I decided that all days should start and end with bread and chocolate! After a long meal and stroll through Montparnasse, we realized it was midnight and time for bed!
