Paris The Vasilik's spend the weekend in Paris to pick up Eric's visa.
|
 | |  |
One of these things is not like the others | | "MaybeBaby" pregnancy test! |
| |
|
 | |  |
We saw these bicycles used by many all over Paris. | | While waiting for the visa, we wondered around. This was on the grounds of an old Army hospital, I think. |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | And then we went to the Eiffel tower. |
| |
|
 | |  |
While Eric goes back for the visa, Sylvia and the kids climb up to the second stage. | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
Because the line to the elevator was very long, and it costs money to use (Sylvia hates spending money when there are alternatives). | | Cool door. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Ping pong is popular. A concrete table. | | Statues and pointy things everywhere! |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | We took a ride on a Ferris wheel. |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
How Sylvia gets after frivolously spending money on Ferris wheels. | | One of the cool playgrounds we found. |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
We went to the gardens near the Louvre. Many cool statues. | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | Chillin' at the pond. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Not sure what this was meant to be. | | A fashion shoot on the river? |
| |
|
 | |  |
Notre Dame! | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
Confessions were being heard! | | Joan of Arc |
| |
|
 | |  |
That's quite a chandelier! | | Crepes on the street. Nutella of course. |
| |
|
 | |  |
St. Eustace Church. | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
Another cool playground by the church. | | At the Centre George Pompidou we encountered a strange performance art spectacle. |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | George is not impressed :-) |
| |
|
 | |  |
Near Notre Dame, there were some police divers in the river. Perhaps they are looking for some incriminating evidence? | | At the Luxembourg Gardens, we have some exercise class going on. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Kenny and Peter find their own kind of exercise. | | The palace at the gardens. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Nearby was a pay-to-play playground. First time we ever paid for the kids to go to a playground. Worth it, as it was a great playground. | | Kind of the world. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Cool zip circuit. | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | |
| |
|
 | |  |
Classic Art Deco style entry to the metro. | | The Seine. |
| |
|
 | |  |
Near Notre Dame there was a market specializing in birds and small rodents. | | |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | Back at Notre Dame. This time the back side. |
| |
|
 | |  |
| | Can you say buttresses? |
| |
|
 | |  |
Unique swing on the grounds. | | And another dish of maximum centrifugal velicity. |
