We made it. . . hooray!

After a long, but uneventful flight, we made it to Paris and our Apartment (as they call it here) for the week. You'll see the pictures of Jane and Molly settling in to their room. It's quite comfortable- with a living room, dining area and kitchenette.

We got out for a french lunch nearby- in the 16th aerondisement (neighborhood we're staying in near the Arc de Triomphe). We walked to the Eiffel Tower then to dinner on Rue Cler, a cobblestone street reserved for markets, diners and walkers. We had a delicious dinner followed by nutella crepes for the girls afterward. We took the Metro home for something different and that was easy.

All in all, today was a really fun first day in Paris! Hope all is well at home and you enjoy the photos.

We walked here before dinner on day one- it's about 5 blocks from our hotel.

After a glace (french ice cream, we took some time to explore the tower.
