We loved Paris!!!!!

Yesterday, we spent time @ Sainte Chapelle, Louvre and Arc de Triomphe. It was an amazing... and a very tiring day. We LOVED the Arc de Triomphe with amazing views of the Eiffel Tower. It was an amazing day!!! Today, we traveled by train to Versailles to see the palace and spent many hours there.  The gardens are amazing! We ate lunch at a cafe and then went to the Eiffel Tower...just as beautiful up close as far away! It was my dream come true!! We grabbed sandwiches for dinner and ate at the hotel in the lounge... it was quiet and relaxing. The PERFECT way to end our journey through paris over the last 5 days! Tomorrow, we travel to Munich for the final leg of our adventure. We expect to learn more than we can possibly imagine and see awesome sights! I have said from the beginning that I think Germnay will be my favorite country on this journey. Fund For Teachers has made all of my travel dreams and inspiration dreams come true!! I am so thankful and humbled by this experience!

Thanks for following our journey... more to come from Germany! :)

Paris is MAGICAL!

We have conquered our initial fears about Paris and ventured out today! We LOVE the Big Bus Tours! It allows us the opportunity to see all the major sights of a city in a few hours so we can decide where we want to spend more time plus you can hop on and off all day. Thursday and Friday are exploration days so we will spend more time at the major sights. Here is what we saw today!

(FUN FACT! I now have a circle tan line from my necklace... awesome)

The Louvre... it is closed on Tuesday though.

There are BEAUTIFUL buildings everywhere!

Notre Dome

 

Tomorrow may be one of the great experiences of my life! Kelly and I travel by train to Cologne, Germany to meet Annette Langen. It is an 8 hour round trip and worth every moment, every penny of our budget! I CANNOT wait to spend the day with her!!!!!
