Bonjour!

Bonjour mes amies! Nous sommes en Paris. For those of you not speaking french we are in Paris! Its been 3 great days of seeing beautiful things, although strangely cold here. Luckily we packed for a New Zealand winter so we are prepared for whatever the weather throws at us.

Exciting things we have seen: just about everything since its all cool- including a trip to the top of the eiffel tower, visit in musee DOrsay, and walking through the gardens at Versailles. Today we walked up a huge flight of stairs to the top of the city at Sacre Couer then down through the hills of Montmatre.

Tommorrow we head to Annency, a smaller French town in the Alps and will spend 3 days there exploring and hoping to catch glimpse of the Tour de France!

Hope everyone is well!

Paris, je t'aime
Hi You Guys, We are really excited to hear of your great adventures. Did you get to see the Hamlet (le Hameau) at Versailles? What about point zero? Have you stepped in any merde de chien? How's the bread? Sorry the weather isn't as beautiful as it should be. I'm sure it will be better in Annency. Dad noticed the the weather for the tour has been rather coldish. arm warmers and rain jackets. Let us know where you plan to be during the tour so we can look for you. No new mail or interesting info yet. Keep having fun. Mom and Dad
