Some metro stations are decorated. This was Kelsey's favorite, Arts et Metiers.

Beautiful old opera house. But I promised Kelsey that we wouldn't go to see any opera on this trip.
|
Another shot of the opera house. We stopped to look at it on the way to see the Eiffel Tower at night.

Area around the old opera house

Interesting Parisian buildings, Au Printemps is a department store

The actors in their scene. We didn't recognize them.

Blurry shot of the Eiffel Tower and Kelsey

I'm getting the hang of using my new digital camera. That's John on the left eating a crepe.
|
Again, John on the left
|
Kelsey waiting for something interesting to happen to the Eiffel Tower (at least that's what Uncle John told us)
|
Our little gang still waiting for something to happen...
|
Ok, not great lighting, but it was around midnight when I took this.

|
Ahhh, this picture doesn't do justice to the scene.
|
Lots of little light bulbs blink to make the tower look really interesting
|
|
Ah, renting bicycles. The french guy walking between Amy and Julie had a sister in Minnesota. He told us.
|
John chatting up a woman who thought we were lost. At this point, I didn't know if we were or weren't.
|
Riding to a famous Parisian landmark.
|
Taking a break before we head out into some heavier traffic, though a rather busy market.
|
John and Julie discussing how to get to our famous landmark while the rest of us wait.
