Paris, France- Spring Break

Made another visit to Paris, France this year for Spring Break.  I went with Andrea Hittle and we stayed with Arnaud Viarouge!  We had a wonderful time and saw many great things!  
Day 1 we mostly spent at the Louvre.  I love that place.  There's so MUCH to see there!  It reminds of me a little of the Smithsonian, because there's no way to see it all...not on one visit anyway.
 Day 2 we went to Versailles and got to see how OVER THE TOP the "other 1/2 lived."  ha ha.  It is really something amazing!  The gardens weren't bloomed out since we were probably there about a month too early for that, but they were still quite impressive to say the least.

Day 3 was spent at the Eiffel Tower, Branly Museum of Pre-Historic Cultures, and the Arc De Triomphe...with many places in between.  The sun was out for a part of the day and was greatly welcomed after our first few days of overcast weather.  Over all we were very lucky with the weather, only experiencing a slight mist one night while there.


Day 4 took started out with a morning visit to the Notre Dame
Cathedral, then on over to Sainte-Chappel and  the Conciergerie...then the Luxembourg Gardens, the Pantheon and a view of the Sorbonne.  It was a FULL day to say the least.

Day 5 was the last day I had my Pentax with me.  I used up the photo card in it...and had to take pics with me phone the last day.  We visited the Paris Opera house, the Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise (Where Chopin, Jim Morrison...and MANY others are buried), and ended the evening with a view of Paris at night.

 It was an outstanding trip! I strongly suggest to people to go to one place/city and STAY there and take in all that ONE city has to offer, instead of running from city to city when you go on a trip.  I believe it is so much more fulfilling!
