Paris around and about

Thursday was our first day on the street. We found our way to and fro on the Metro and enjoyed a number of events. We took a boat tour on the Seine, and every building looks like a palace -- just spectacular.

Rewinding to our first night, the city tour -- a ride around to see the key spots -- left us thinking that Paris may be the most beautiful city we've seen. The Eiffel Tower is illuminated, the trees along the Champs-Elysées are lit for the holidays, and so many sites that pictures are really required rather than words.

We met Ben's cousin and family, and were warmly received into their home for an evening of food and drink. It was a late night, but a lot of fun.
