Hey, we’re in Paris! Yesterday was a busy day of crazy shuttle drivers, Notre Dame, and getting lost in the incredibly confusing streets of Paris (don’t worry–we found the hotel eventually).
Today, we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and also visited the Louvre. Taking the stairs and going early in the morning is definitely the trick to the Eiffel Tower. The view from the top was pretty amazing–I felt dizzy just looking that far down. At the Louvre, we saw several of the big names: Mona Lisa, Code of Hammurabi, and, of course, the Human-headed Bull Genies (see my photos if you’re curious on that one). I really don’t know much about art, so I was a little lost. The place is just so huge that I that I didn’t even know what to look for. Even so, it was still a great experience.
Bolt and I are both pretty tired, so I’m not going to write a huge post. Instead, I’ll just post some pictures and send you over to TTB for some In-flight Entertainment.
We leave for Cameroon tomorrow morning.
Hi there. My name is Curtis Hawthorne, but most of my friends call me Fjord.
