Starting to get our jet lagged selves moving on day 2...

We you know we're not travellers when we can't figure out how to turn the shower on. Thinking that it was a problem with the shower we reached out and asked for help. Problem was we couldn't figure out have to dial the number on the phone. Sad. So we ventured out kinda smelly. The walk up to the Paris Information Centre, which took us right by the Louvre, was beautiful. I think we spent most of our time with our mouths wide open. Paris is very overwhelming. Every where you look there is another amazing thing to see and take pictures of. Lee and Maddie have been very good about letting me stop whenever I want.

Lee had to spend most of yesterday afternoon and evening working as it was quarter end for him. Maddie and I ventured to see Notre Dame at night. Knowing that Paris is the city of light we were surprised at how little light there was. Enjoy our highlights from day 2.
