Paris

Paris is a lot less exciting to me, but here are a few pics of my favorite parts of the city. I was basically in town for one day, Easter Sunday, before heading off to Mont St Michel. Pics of Mont St Michel and Geneva are still coming, as are Vienna, Budapest, Cesky Krumlov and the two things worth taking pics of in Bratislava (a cable stay bridge and a pre-Roman fortress)

1) Yummy market

2) View off the top of the Eiffel Tower

3) Looking straight up the Tower: The Tower is built at its base to exert no more pressure per square inch than a 150lb lady in heels.

4) Looking straight down the Tower

5) Notre Dame

6) Easter Mass in Notre Dame (I stopped taking pics as mass started, unlike the idiots that were bugging me all night to move so they could get better pics and using me as a tripod)

7) Arc de Triumph

8) Obelisk, in Concorde Place

9) Goofy thumb statue, no real importance, its just an awesome pic with the reflection off rain covered marble

10) Eiffel Tower at night, once an hour it sparkels wth flashy lights

11) Non-sparking Eiffel Tower for comparison

12) Grande Arche, a modern Arc de Triumph, it houses gov't offices
