Fun in Paris with Michelle


My cousin Michelle was in France last week for a business meeting, so we met up in Paris for a few hours on Saturday. We had a nice time! I hadn't seen her since my wedding two years ago, so it was nice to catch up. Anyway, we didn't do much since we were both in town only for the afternoon, but we each had a main objective while in the city: Michelle's goal was to go up into the Eiffel Tower, and not surprisingly, my goal was to get a crepe.

Word to the wise: make sure you're in shape if you plan to walk up the Eiffel Tower!! You have to pay different prices depending on how high up into the Tower you want to go, so we just paid to go to the first level. We were okay going up the first few flights of stairs, but after a while we were really struggling! 400 steps later we made it to the first level. The picture above is of us in the Eiffel Tower. The view was really pretty from so high up. After climbing the Eiffel Tower I got my chocolate crepe, so the day was a success!

The crepe was okay...I probably wouldn't get another one. I neglected to add that I bought an ice cream cone shortly after I ate the crepe!! lol! I deserved it for walking up all those steps!

WUWYG!

Glad you and Shelley got a chance to spend some time together. I'm all for taking the stairs when you can, but doesn't the Eiffel Tower have elevators? HI SHELLEY (if you happen to be reading)!!

Love and Blessings to you all,

Uncle Daddy Rhenzi
