day 1, just when we got off the metro, there was this fabulous water fountain
from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, looking down the stairwell
view from the top of the Arc
Shelley at the top of the Arc
André from the top of the Arc
looking back down on the Champs-Élysées
our first of several trips to the Eiffel Tower (André)
the smiling couple
there's this spooky merry-go-round near the Tower
spooky merry-go-round continued
this is self-explanatory
view from inside our café for lunch; the yellow is nice but i had the single worst hamburger of my entire life here
lovely view from between two buildings
this is inside the Concorde Metro station (these wall tiles actually spell something, it's poetry)
gear on the street outside after the a-ha concert (our main reason for being in Paris in the first place)
cool little side streets near Notre Dame
all this food is fresh
lots of ethnic restos in this area
how can you say no to Tart?
taking a picture of taking a picture of ...
Louvre at sunset (much more lovely from the outside, i found the art inside kind of dull)
Louvre
Louvre from inside looking back through the triangle glass entrance sculpture
hmm, this must be trip #2 to the Eiffel tower, at night,with tripods - see the video below
the famous Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, taken for Uncle Don :)
this was trip #3 to the Eiffel tower, this time we took the boat tour down the Seine
more pics from the boat tour
our last evening, cool light on the buildings, had our best beef dinner here
street vendors sell all kinds of stuff like this; picture taken by holding the camera at my waist and clicking so as to not draw attention to myself
same vendor's display, wider angle
the view at night
we rode the metro to the most scary part of town, took 5 pictures, then left quickly!
