Paris!

Plane, 5 train/metros and 7 million steps later...we arrived at our destination, 7 of us and 6 suitcases. Our lovely aunt and uncle whom we had never met agreed to host our whole family for 3 days. Their car only has two seats, so we gratefully headed to their house on foot and metro.

How we got there:

Scary, super-full metro with suitcases:

Hoofing it:

Luxury high-speed train down to Mont-de-Marsan: (this is second class)

Who and what we saw; my friend, Elise:

Beautiful windows:

The Eiffel Tower:

The Invalides:

 Cool doors:

 

Notre Dame de Paris

The Seine:

More tomorrow: where we stayed, what we ate, drank, and visited.
