Korea to Paris Day 2

crossstone-copyaltarnotreJJandthearcNotredame1FinishedallroadstomboftheunknowsoldierhealthyguystouristspotWe were so tired that we went to bed right after dinner on Monday night.  We literally didn’t even say good night to each other.  I believe that I was actually asleep before I took off my shoes.

We started day 2 before sunrise.  We both woke up before 7 without alarm. I guess that is pretty easy to do when you go to bed before 8pm.  We started by heading to Champs-Elysees and the Arc de Trimumph.  It was raining and we we were getting cold, so we started to look for a place to have a coffee. Lo and behold we came across the green circle.  Starbucks was a nice find, but way too damn expensive.

We spent awhile at the Arc and then walked all the way down the Champs-Elysees to the Louvre.  It was a pretty good walk and led to us being pretty tired the rest of the day.  We then went back to Notre Dame and had lunch near the river in a small cafe.  We was pretty surreal eating lunch and watching people go by with Notre Dame and the Seine right outside the window.  I had the biggest and best club sandwich that I have ever tasted.  They used a few different cheeses and it was unbelievable.  We left here and went inside of Notre Dame where we took some photos and lit a candle for JJ’s mom.(who is much better now! Ahhhh the power of prayer)  We also did some shopping and checked out Saint Estauch????? I believe.  We were so tired that we got KFC for dinner and then were asleep by 9.  I will give a full review of our hotel in a later post. If you are looking to save some money on your trip to Paris, then do I do where you need to stay…..

These guys were not nearly this big when I last came home.  The smallest was not even born yet.  They have grown so much!  We loved being with them last week!  carsonandalex

We left from Seoul on Sunday and arrived in Paris on Monday morning at around 6am. We spent 7 hours wandering around the Kuala Lumpur airport before arriving at CDG. Once we arrived in Paris, we picked up two metro cards that would cover us for the full week. This was the only time we had to visit a ticket office and it more than paid off.

We went straight to our hotel dropped off our bags and went out to find something to eat and walk around Notre Dame. Here are a few photos from Day 1.
