Well, we officially LOVE Paris. Oh yeah, big time. Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time after you round the corner at the Trocadero = breathtaking. I (Kara) actually got tears in my eyes. Cheesy, corny...whatever. It was amazing. Today we climbed up the 'ol girl. Whew...not easy. But worth it. We also spent a few hours in the Louvre - you could spend DAYS in that place and not see everything. We hit the highlights, Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, plus some other pretty amazing art. Also yesterday we stumbled upon a Pro Beach Volleyball tournament taking place in Paris this week. For those who may not know, I played for nine years...including two in college - NJCAA National Champs, 1999. So this was a very exciting find. We took in another match today. It just so happens that my favorite doubles team, Misty May and Kerri Walsh (Olympic Gold Medalists) are playing tomorrow morning (also my birthday). We are going. It was a pretty awesome surprise.
Tomorrow we are also planning on going to Montmarte - home of the Moulin Rouge and the little cafe that is in Amelie. I decided I didn't want to do anything too outrageous for my birthday so we are going to have a picnic by the Eiffel Tower and watch her light up. It will be perfect I'm sure :)
