A Walk Down the Champs Elysees

My first walk down the Champs Elysees was cold and wet, and yet still quite magical. On the metro there are often street musicians who hop into a car and entertain everyone.  If you notice, there's a large speaker, typically with an iPod attached.... so even when they stop playing and walk around to collect money, the music still plays!

My first time to see the Arc

I've always been intrigued by this monument

I LOVE Christmas lights!

Stacks and stacks and stacks of chocolate

A distant glimpse of the tour de Eiffel through the fog



The end of a delightful evening

It was a wonderful night to explore the Christmas market while sipping vin chaud (hot spiced wine) and taking in all of the lights, sounds and smells of the city.
