This weekend, the traveling ladies headed off to take Paris by storm. What a wonderful weekend of Parisian life! We left Saturday morning via the Eurostar and headed off under the channel to the continent. After about 2 hours of a train ride (which unfortunately for all you Harry Potter fans there was not a chocolate frog to be found), we emerged into the world where we understood about well...nothing. We finally found the Sortie sign--Exit, which we realized after a few minutes said exit underneath it in English. Finally, we emerged onto a street lined with lovely cafes and balcony laden buildings, already on the lookout for some delicious Parisian chocolates... prioritie, priorities.
The Berne Opera Hotel was lovely, and we were welcomed by name to the hotel, where our room overlooked a long street filled with flowers and iron rung balconies. The afternoon was filled with the sights of Paris, from the Arc de Triomph to the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre to the Museum Orsay. And along the way my bus earphones gave me all the background behind the sights. Dinner that day consisted of delicious french onion soup, baguettes, cheeses, and salads. The world was a happier place.
Our true Parisian morning was filled with hot chocolate, croissants, and fresh fruit. The day included adventures on the bus, the metro, to the market, and then to the Museum Orsay. If you ever visit Paris, you have to visit this incredible museum...More to come later and I will post up a few pics quite soon
