We're here!

Our first day in Paris has wonderful. Our flight was as painless as a
6 hour redeye flight. can be.

We had to wait a bit for our shuttle so we got to Paris proper a
little later than expected. We checked into the hotel and set out to
explore Montmartre.

We walked up to the Sacre Coeur and enjoyed an amazing view of the
city. The weather was amazing today so we could see clearly for miles.

We explored the neighborhood and saw Renoir's, Picasso's, Van Gogh's
AND Toulouse Le Trec's homes. We also walked past the Moulin Rouge
down Pig Alley, including a veryinteresting trip through Musee de
l'Erotisme.

We had a great West African dinner, followed by a walk back up to the
Sacre Coeur to enjoy the city at night.

We had nutella crepes and coffee at the MOST Parisian piano, complete
with rude waiters and a ton of cigarette smoke.

We had plans to go to the Au Lapin Agile, a famous cabaret, but it was
closed. We were actually a little bit glad because we were exhausted!
