Day 17 - PARIS in the Sun After a bit of a sleep in, we headed to Paris. The trip to the Eiffel Tower took a bit longer due to some temporary closures of the underground lines servicing the Eiffel Tower area (Summer seems a terrible time to close some of the busiest tourist stations, but C'est la vie). We were able to score tickets to the top of the tower only a few days in advance, which was ver... Read Full Entry

My name is Tony Wilson. I, my wife Anne, and my Daughter Michelle live in Atascadero, CA, and lead typical lives, we like to think. We love traveling... all over the place. Often, our travels are routine, or only slightly exciting for a short time. Good things in life come in small measures. However, on occasion, we do have more epic journeys and people like to hear about them. These are our travel sagas.. I hope you enjoy them.... full info

Flare

Of all the places we have taken pictures, the plaza around the Arc was the place we all felt the most expressive. Maybe it was the day, or the atmosphere, but we were having a great time ... (Ok, maybe it was the vodka from dessert).

FRIENDS

We ran into other people with pets, we just had to take a group photo.

An Obolisk

By this time, we weren't really interested in what everything was, or it's history, though I am sure it would be interesting. you can see some of the setup for the huge party/parade in mid July.

I am sure this statue is Famous

It looks really cool, shiny, watery, blue.... at this point, we don't really have the energy to care much, so we just admire the beautiful art and architecture, and leave it at that.

A Chat in the shade

Several times, we took some time away from the heat to sit in the shade and talk about what we have seen and any other topic that came to mind.

A Paris Wheel

Michelle's humor is getting more sophisticated by the day.

Perspective

It's the latest in Pyramid technology... the Palm-Pyramid.

Stuck Between a Pyramid and a hard Pyramid

Hamster feels like he is at the center of the spiritual, cosmic and physical worlds. It's a powerful place. Now get out of the way so more people can take pictures.

Slip Sliding Away

The floors in the Louvre Mall were just slick enough that you can slide over them with some initial force, but not slip while walking. So, of course, Tony and Michelle found a way to make it a thrill ride.
