Paris

In January, 2002, I went to England on a personal trip.  My godfather, David, had been in Paris for the New Year, and convinced me to go to Paris while I was there.  So, I booked a ticket on the Eurostar high speed train that goes underneath the English Channel and takes 3 hours to get to Paris from London.  I spent two and half days in Paris, running around being a true tourist.  It is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited.  Unfortunately, these pictures do not do this city justice, owing mostly to the constant overcast weather.  However, I hope you enjoy them and if you haven't been to Paris, please go and you won't regret it!  A special thanks to my Uncle David for his advice and excellent itinerary planning!
