Paris: the beginning and the end of the trip...

Here's some pix to prove I went: Sweet Anna, me and JOanna sneaking in... this is Christmas day just after we had checked into the hotel... this was sighting one of the Tour de Eiffel... one of about three thousand, six hundred and forty-seven sightings...

This is six days later on New Years Eve at the end of the Champs-Eleysees where there were reportedly 400,000 of us, whew, it was quite cramped! The blue vans in the middle ground brought in police in roit gear...

But it wasn't the sights, the food or the wonderful (no kidding) cold weather that made this holiday great, it was being with the family. Here we are on the 26th or 27th atop the Arc De Triomphe - you can barely see the Tour de Eiffel just to the right of us above my shoulder...
