Bonjour,
We made it to Paris! We're having a great time. The people have been very friendly, we even managed to navigate through the subway without getting lost. Yesterday we went up the Eiffel tower. We walked from our hotel which is on the southwest side of Paris near the velodrome. It was quite a trek, but we had to stay awake to fight the jet lag. We ate at a great brassierie, Mark ate pigeon, but it was good. We'll post photos when get a chance (windows XP).

Today we went to Versailles, and toured the gardens and the chateau. The weather was warm, no jacket needed. It was beautiful. I did eat pigeon, but I didn't know it. I ordered Tagine ala Pintend avec Pruneaux, a basic morrocan stew with prunes and couscous, and later I realized it might be pigeon, because it tasted like chicken, but it wasn't poulet (chicken). Parisiens aren't rude, just a little different than what people in the US are used to, we speak a little french and people are very nice. -au revoir
