This is Ransom "driving" the double-
decker bus. It was the kids' other pick of things to do (the 1st being the Eiffel Tower). The top deck is open so you can see the sights as they drive you around all the attractions of town with a commentary offered in headphones. As we could get on and off at the different stops and get a feel for the layout of the city, it was really a pretty nice activity.
The Seine River flows right through the center of Paris. Just about every block has a
bridge across it so there are countless of them gracefully
stretching across the river. And all illuminated at night! In certain areas, the river is also flanked with paved banks down by the water (not in these pictures, oops) so of course we strolled along the Seine a few times.
The Louvre Museum. The glass pyramid is even stranger in person than I figured it would be. I suppose it's the
juxtaposition of old world and modern. We didn't go in for if you look really closely, the courtyard was crowded with people. We generally stay away from crowds. I know, so
unSpanish of us.
We ate dinner on the Champs
Elysees just for the experience- same as many others there no doubt!
