This is a fascinating city. You could spend a year photographing it and not really have scratched the surface. Here are some obligatory photos…we’ll do some less well known stuff soon.
This is I’lsle Saint-Louis where our hotel is located (Which you can’t see because it’s behind this row of buildings)
Notre Dame – Front, back and at night (from our picnic spot mentioned in a previous post)
This is a bridge off our “home” island. It’s mostly unremarkable except for this little story: My dad was in Paris shortly after its liberation from Germany (WWII). There’s a picture of him standing on a bridge with a buddy (they were on the rail hanging onto the lamp posts). I’m not 100% positive (and won’t be until we find the picture) but I swear this is the bridge he was on. I remember the lamp posts and vaguely a statue in the background. Just to be safe I’m taking pictures of myself on every bridge with lamp posts in Paris.
For Divinci Code Fans: This is the Louvre and the giant glass pyramid.
More Louvre – This place is huge.
And of course the space needle.
It does look like the same bridge! Mother found the picture, so it'll be fun to compare when you get home, although she seems to think it's a ship, not a bridge. She said it doesn't have a name on the photo, so it'll just be by looks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've had a wonderful trip. We (and a little black and white lady) will be happy to see you soon.
Love you.
