La Joie de Vive

---

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while since our last blog, but we've been REALLY busy! Paris has been wonderful, that is except for the French! We hope we don't insult anyone but they really ARE rude! Even if you try to speak french to them, they just roll their eyes at you and speak back to you in English! And poor Graeme, they keep telling him he speaks french badly! He certainly speaks it better than me! Oh well, everything else is great! Well, i'm sorry to disapoint you all but this is about all i can say for this travel journal because we no longer have free internet and we have a lot to do still, but hopefully the pictures will fill you all in! Besides, that's really what you want to see, isn't it? I'll just add one last tidbit - we went to the Moulin Rouge last night because it was our 2 year anniversary (!) and it was great! We're leaving tonight on a night train to Barcelona to meet up with Chester and Ryan so I'm not sure when we'll be writing back. Ok, gotta run, bye!

The Louvre - Paris France
Here's Graeme standing in front of the fountain outside the Louvre. It's the biggest thing I've ever seen by the way, so this is only one very small section of it!

Saint Chapelle Cathedral
This cathedral was really beautiful! Stained glass was everywhere inside!

Notre Dame Cathedral!
The inside was really beautiful as well but unfortunately since there was no light inside other than candle light, our pictures didn't turn out very well :(

Notre Dame Cathedral
Here's Jen standing outside Notre Dame

The Louvre
Here's a picture of the Louvre that better shows how big it is! The huge glass pyramid in the middle is how you get in! You take an escalator down underneath it!

The Paris Opera House
Home to the Phantom of the Opera! Inside it was SPECTACULAR! Unfortunately, a bit dark though, so here's just a picture of the outside.

The Monna Lisa
And yes, apparently that's spelled the correct way! I was really suprised that we were allowed to take photos, so this was really cool!

Aphrodite - The Louvre
Here's Graeme being funny...well, at least he thought he was!

Jen - absolutely pooped from walking around for 10 hours
