Catacombs & Eiffel Tower
























Yesterday was a free day, and it was quite the adventuresome one…It started with a group of us going to church again, which was an adventure in itself to find, but once we found it, it was a cool experience. Then we went to see the Catacombs! It was pretty creepy. There were so many skulls & bones! It was interesting to see how they organized the bones to make designs & patterns. We also went on a boat tour of Paris down the Seine River. This was a really neat way to find out the history of many of the buildings in Paris. We went at the perfect time too-at dusk & the weather was even warm still. It was awesome! Then after that, we went to the famous Eiffel Tower! The sight you’ve all been waiting to see! It is quite the spectacle in person. It puts the one in Vegas to shame. At night, it is not only lit up, but also sparkles on the hour. This is a really cool site to see! It looks like a sparkler. I tried to get some good pictures of it! Anyway that was our first free day here! I've also encluded some other pics of stuff we did during the day. In one of the pictures we are eating French ice-cream. It was amazing! Enjoy the pictures…
