Paris, the city of lights


Life has been a bit hectic lately, especially without the Internet. I am going to be pretty brief for the next few posts since I am using Internet cafes for my connection.
Paris was a bit interesting, the city is lively but very dirty. The monuments and museums are a spectacle that any person needs to see, but the moments are somewhat dulled due to the horrible graffiti and trash scattered throughout the city. The food is wonderful and the night scene is a spectacle. The view from the Eiffel Tower (pictured above is the Arch de Triumphe from the Eiffel Tower) is a must for any tourist. I recommend getting to the tower around 8:30pm and trying to catch the view as the sun goes down. Looking at Paris during the night is simply awing.
While in Paris I had the opportunity to try various wines and of course a beer. Pelforth Blonde was the selection of the city. It was a tasty wheat beer that washed down some of the best fries I have ever had. Overall the city was a blast and the food was amazing. For picture check out: http://tinyurl.com/ppxtst
