Paris is amazing. I mean… seriously!
Wendy (the owner of Tattered Angels) and I got here this morning at like 6am and decided to take a 2 hour nap.. that turned into a 6 hour nap! (this is wendy)
So… about dinner time, we were up and moving. We weren’t really sure where to go or what to do, so we simply called a taxi and told him to take us to the Eiffel Tower. During the cab ride, somehow we negotiated ourselves his ‘tour guide’ services for the evening, and he proceeded to take us all around the city, allowing us to capture all the highlights! It was PERFECT!! It’s pretty cold, but not horrible, and it’s dry… he just drove us up to the sites, and we got out-walked around-took photos and got right back into the heated car! PRIVATE TOUR!
He took us to a great little tourist gift shop where HE negotiated the great deals for us on all the souvenirs we needed… and then took us to a great little restaurant “not too expensive” he told us… for dinner. And he was right! It was PERFECT! He was an older gentleman, and had very broken English, but what a BLESSING! We had a blast.
Here are a few photos from our NIGHT TOUR of Paris!
ENJOY!!
there were a bunch of older French men outside our restaurant sketching and painting, and selling their creations under the twinkling lights. aaaah Paris!

lights... literally sparkles like BLINGY.. . it's GORGEOUS! we caught
it just in time. it's to celebrate the 150 year anniversary of the
Tower.
