... The New Zealand memorial to the Unknown Warrior It was a day PACKED with everything. Information overload. Heading back to Lille we kicked back for a bit before heading out on the town to enjoy the sites again. We found a nice little café to have our dinner. I had some Le Coq something or other - it was chicken with a beer sauce - it tasted like the Chicken version of Guiness pie, yummo. The ...

... the city from the banks of the Seine River. Me inside the Louvre! Even though I've seen it so many times in movies and in books, it's an otherworldly experience to see it in person. The Louvre at night. The Saint Chapelle church, built in 1242 and part of the Palais de Cite, residence and ...

... from a snooty store clerk at the fromagerie after picking up a piece of brie to check the price. Aside from her though, the service staff in the city were were much friendlier than expected. I suppose Leanne's French language skills helped to elicit slightly better treatment than your average North American tourist. I must return again soon - a day was not nearly enough!

... on facebook because its faster. You dont have to all join facebook, just follow these links and you should be able to see all my photos (let me know if it doesnt work...speaking of contacting me, where are all my comments?! I'm working hard here people, let me know you're reading this ...

... also went to see the Noter Dame cathedral today and it was breathtaking. I also have some great pictures of the sun setting on the Louvre. All in all it was a great day. I will try to upload pictures and write a longer entry when I get to Madrid in a week.

... change, for whatever reason and there was no business class seating in the plane. They had paid for and were anticipating traveling in business and now there wasn't one. The German lady in particular read the staff the riot act. He husband just read the newspaper, and didn't pay much attention. Because it was a 767-200 not 300, not only was there no business class ...

... a patch of dirt in the park by the Eiffel Tower with a fairly good view. The fireworks didn't disappoint, and was made even better by the fact they had synchronized it with the music playing over the loudspeakers. The papers the next day said there were around 500,000 people down there, but it felt like there were way more than that. And from what we could see, all were very well behaved (something us Edmontonions could learn from :)

... space leads to extreme killing. I can remember the exact places we went however it doesn;t have an option for just france :P. We did go to paris though and I climbed the eiffel tower in true tourist fashion and we saw the BIGGEST goldfish from the top! Seriously this thing was HUGE!!!!!

... I forgot to mention my oberservations of the French that I found enjoyable. They do still do the bisou (the two air kisses) they bring their bread home sans bag and just carry it in their hands, and my favorite is the motorcycles which seem to rule the road (and sometimes sidewalk) since they go wherever they can fit. This includes the businessmen in their nice suits heading off to work... very enjoyable to see. Love, ~Amanda (or as the French keyboard says: Q,qndq

... pastries, watched it snow, then went to the Eiffel Tower to meet up with Lauren again. We met underneath the Tower, but weren't able to go up because of the snow and weather. I think they were worried that it would be icy for the elevators to go up and down...I guess I was okay with not being able to do it because of that reason. We took lots of pictures, then left the tower to get warm in Galleria Lafayette (this HUGE department store, famous in Paris). We saw the Opera house on ...
