Best View of the City!

We visited the Arc de Triomphe on Monday! I was leery of forking over six euros just to walk to the top, but I'm so glad I deemed it a worthy investment. I got some great pictures from the top!



Look at the details!

Dad, this is for you! A tomb of the Unknown Soldier from WWI.



Walking to the top!

Breathtaking!


I match the city. :)



Check out my panoramic view of the city.





So excited! The weather was wonderful, albeit a little drizzly, near 50 degrees.



I love this one! Just look at the contrast in textures between the cars and the pedestrians.

Sporting the floral one-piece suit I bought at the market!


Ornate decorations for Aunt Cathy. :)


Gorgeous staircase!

That just goes to prove... a golden key can open any door.
(Or six euros can open this particular door.)

  1. Ack! I can't see all the photos! I hope it's just a glitch and they show up later.

  2. Wow, these pics are amazing! You're not helping with my desire to buy a sweet camera before I go back to Laos! :) I'm so impressed how often you update your blog. Your sis could learn a thing or two from that! ;)
