Paris #5 - Of Bike Tours and Shopping

The stairs of the Arc de Triomphe
Megan:

We went on a really wicked bike tour and had so much fun. Our guide, Toby, was really cool and I was his official assistant guide. First we went down to the river and saw Notre Dame. We had some ice cream ... it was SO good; Mine tasted like fruit punch. Then we all took a boat tour on the river . It was so cold but fun at the same time. Then we biked back and a really nice man named Ken walked us home cause it was dark and it was 1 am.

Yesterday we had a picnic on the grass by the Eiffel Tower. Then we climbed 280 stairs up the Arc de Triomphe. Aunt Janice was exhausted when we came up top but I was really hyped and could walk even more. It was a really nice view

Once we got down we walked the Champs Elysees all the way to the Louvre -- a VERY long way ... miles! But along the way we stopped at some souvenir shops and a special perfume shop that was as big as a small mall. I bought wicked perfume! 


And that was the end of the day. We were so tired we couldn't feel our feet. Today the catacombs.
