An Evening Stroll:


Last night, after a whirlwind first day in Paris that included finding JP's school,  getting him all checked in, finding every supermarket with a 3 mile radius of our apartment, and discovering our shower didn't work, JP and I decided we would go on an evening stroll!
About ten minutes later, we ended up at the Eiffel Tower and I couldn't believe it -- we live SO close! Just a short walk away! The lighting was perfect and we had such a fun time walking around; we saw brides and grooms taking wedding photos, a bachelorette party in a limo that stopped to have a dance party, and tons of parisians congregating on the park in front of the tower eating dinner and drinking wine. So we decided to blend right in with the locals and take a million pictures (ha ha ha). 
Enjoy!






*also, as of about 20 minutes ago, our shower is working! Hallelujah! :)

      Thank you! I have a Canon Rebel T2i and I just purchased a f1.4/50 mm lens! I'm in love with it!

      Haha not as fast as I'd like! Jean Paul keeps trying to teach me phrases and it seems my lips don't know how to even form the words!

    Ah love all this Grace! I feel like the worst Aunt in the world though, because I didn't even realize you guys had already gone! I would have at least called to say good luck, Bojour, love you, and all that stuff! Anyway, enjoy every minute and keep the posts and pictures coming! Love Liz

    These pictures are beautiful! Christian and I will be in Paris at the end of July, and we'll be staying in an apartment in the 7th arr., about 10 minutes from the eiffel tower! Maybe we'll run into you!
