We found a flight that had a 10 hour layover in Paris. We took advantage, got on a train and headed downtown. We were ever grateful that we followed Rick Steve's travel advice of packing light as we hauled our luggage everywhere we went. Supposedly there were lockers in the train station but we couldn't find any.
We got to see:
The Louvre
Inside was the "Mona Lisa" by Da Vinchi. (It is actually quite small)
Venus de Milo, a ancient roman statue.
And lots more art and statues.
We popped by the Eiffel Tower.
The Seine River
Enjoyed lunch with my cousin Stacy who lives in Paris and stopped by the Notre Dame. Our trip there got cut a little short because it started pouring with rain! Fortunately, that was the last of the rain for the entire trip!

I'm glad you and Matt shared such a great adventure. Where will your next one be? Did you know there's also a Paris, Idaho?
