4th of July in Paris







Today we got a chance to stop by an internet cafe in the middle of the day, but typing on a French Keyboard is tough, I can't get used to the where the letters are. It must make sense to the French this way. we will have to continue at the hotel. In the meantime; happy 4th of July to all our friends and family north of the U.S. border. we will miss the fireworks this year....Until later tonight.
4th of July P.M.
We finally arrived at our hotel exhausted and satisfied from all the new places we got to see. We had awesome weather today, kind of to make up for our welcome two days ago.
Our first stop today was the Cathedral of Notre Dame. We were in awe that we could stand and touch a building constructed over 900 years ago, without the technology and without the power cranes etc. Awesome. Surely there is a God that helps people who want to worship in a magnificent Cathedral as is Notre Dame.
Since it was our Independence day and we were in the neighborhood, we decided to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe Paris. Hence the Picture of Julio and Alec with the U.S. flag in the background.
Finally we rode on a boat along the Seine river, at one point we were right behind (or to the side)
of the Eiffel tower. Which lend itself to a Great picture. We think fireworks around the Eiffel would have been nice but we will sacrifice for this year...
Tomorrow we visit Versaille and take a dinner cruise on the Seine. Until tomorrow, happy holiday to you.
