So, we went to Paris last week and enjoyed every bit of it. This was a couple's trip, my wife and I plus her brother and his wife. The Paris metro was invaluable for getting around and saving time and also fairly easy to navigate through. If anyone is interested in visiting and seeing as much as possible, I recommend using the Paris Go Pass which offers admission to tons of museums, wine tasting, bus rides, and tours. I did feel like we cheated a bit since most Parisiens can speak English, so we never really relied on our (pathetic) French-speaking skills. I think our next European adventure will be in the UK, looking at Scotland, and England as our next two destinations.
Our view of Iceland from the plane.
Notre Dame Cathedral is closed to the public until next year.
Le Louvre
Mr. and Mrs. Travo at Montmartre.
Moulin Rouge was a short walk from our apartment, a very touristy area, and party central.
Pere Lachaise Cemetary is a must-stop.
Protestors occupied the top of Arc de Triomphe.
Le Eiffel was closed to the public due to remodeling for next year's Olympics. However, we had a reservation for Le Jules Verne and were able to go up anyway. What a fantastic restaurant experience on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.
Unfortunately, none of your pics are showing.
Sonofa!
Anyone have a recommendation on a pic share site that shows up here?
I see the doggo
Looks like you are using Google Photos? You need to create a sharing link, which isn't as straight forward as it should be. It took me while to figure it out.
How to embed Google Photos on Thevgpress
1.In Google Photos open the pic you want to embed.
2. Click on the "share" icon (upper-right)
3. Click "Create Link" (bottom row of popup window) (You will need to click this twice on two different popups)
4. Copy
5. Paste that link into a new browser window
6. Click on the image on that page to display it fullscreen
7. Right-click on the fullscreen image and select "Copy Image Address" (This will be the true sharing link)
8. Paste this link into the Vgpress image tool like usual.
Yes, will do that later when I have more time. Thank you!
