Paris France


We only had a couple of days in France on a trip with our son Daniel and his beautiful wife Alexa.  This trip was to celebrate Alexa's graduation from college.  Daniel had chosen a similar European trip for his senior trip and wanted to share some of the sites with Alexa.
We wanted to make sure to see the Eiffel tower and took the train into the city to see the sights.  The tower was stunning.  Daniel and Alexa rode to the top of the tower and walked down.





We enjoyed a dinner in the city at an Italian restaurant.  We had pizza and pastas.  We loved the pastries in Paris. French Pastries are some of the best.








We enjoyed a few sites in the city briefly and when we go back next time we will take a ride on the Seine river that runs through the city.  It was beautiful and earns the title the city of lights.  I hope to return and enjoy a lengthy visit.




Our Second day in Paris we saw a little countryside on the Uber ride to Disneyland Paris.




One of our most memorable experiences in Paris was the train ride from the airport into the city.  It was the most crowded that I have ever experiences.  There was definitely no social distancing, perception of invading a bubble or personal space.  We were mashed up against total strangers in the standing room only cars.  At each stop a few more people would try to push their way onto  the train. People were shouting "S'il vous plait" but there was literally no room. Despite the cozy transit we have "Beaux Souvenirs" of Paris.
