la ville d'amour

city of love

with limited computer and internet access,
i just wanted to take a quick moment to say bonjour to all our faithful blog followers

tonio, chelsey, sebastien and i are taking in all we can of PARIS !

(photo by someone else... just a sneak peak - more to come later)

eating snails (which were pretty good actually), walking in the magical rain at night, ascending the eiffel tower and the arc de triomphe, visiting the sacré couer, notre dame, the outside of the louvre and the opéra, all the quaint streets...

it's magical - disneyland on steroids !

we are so blessed and thankful for this opportunity to visit seb and be here
