Anyone want a gold ring? It's so funny, the gypsies walk up to you clearly with a gold ring in their hand, bend down in front of you as if they're picking it up off the ground, and hand it to you asking if it is yours. Twenty-five feet later it happens again. This happened a total of three times on one bridge crossing the Seine. Ah, Paris. We were also approached several times at the Eurostar station, but they had a different approach there, no gold ring. By the way, the Eurostar train ride was fantastic sitting in first class. Musee de Louvre- fail. We entered under the glass pyramid to wait in line for tickets but decided we were too tired, so we left to take a nap. We ate dinner at a cafe- roasted chicken, salad, and French fries, then took the Metro to the Eiffel Tower. Wow. Beautiful at night. Had a crepe from a street vendor, delicious. Headed back to the hotel to watch the BBC Worldwide news loop (every 20 minutes). It's nice to hear talk about American politics not skewed in any direction. Oh, yes, the cigarettes. Pretty much everywhere you go it smells of the Mason Jar on a Friday night. Everyone smokes. Ah, Paris.
Note to future Paris travelers, avoid Quick at any cost.

That is sooo cool that you got a picture with the guy from Myth Busters in front of the Eiffel Tower!
Looks like you are having an amazing time while I work on these Batch 3 revisions, hahaha. Great pictures!!!
Great pics guys. I hope to see the Eiffel Tower myself someday but living vicariously through you for the time being is a lot of fun. :)
