Eiffle Tower, Etc.

I had another long day standing on my feet, and so I apologize for not having much to show. After the conference expo ended for the day we walked about 20 minutes to a nice restaurant that was built in Alfred Nobel's Paris home. Our invitation had the times mixed up, so we arrived early. Since we were pretty close to where we could get a good view of the Eiffle Tower, we went and took a couple of pictures. I'm hoping to get some daylight pictures tomorrow, but we'll see. You'll note that the top of the tower, which is more than 1000 high, is lost in the clouds.

very jealous. Andrew and I are planning a post-mark-nursing, pre-adopted-babies-coming-home trip to Italy, France and maybe Greece. Someday...poor you back in coach with the cattle. I am crying for you.

Marie's comment about your hotel: "That looks like a nice one." Is it just as cold there as it is here? It was -9 when I dropped the kids off at school this morning.

Randy,
You do a great job taking pictures.
You have lots of memories to share with family and friends. For those of us who aren't expecting a trip to Paris you make us think we have been there.
Thanks
Grandma Pearl
