Pictures!

Here are a couple of pictures that I've taken over the past few days.

My attempt at "pinching" the top of the Eiffel Tower.  I was a little off...

Some other CEA students and I sat around and ate baguettes and cheese on the lawn behind the Eiffel Tower.  It was beautiful!!

Some truly beautiful detail on the side of the Notre Dame.  Notre Dame is about a 5 minute walk from CEA Headquarters.  Sigh.

The infamous Notre Dame Cathedral.  Unfortunately for me, I can't look at this 900 year old piece of history without thinking of the Disney movie...

Again, all I could visualize here was Esmeralda singing "God Help the Outcasts".  I am a victim of Disney. 

The Notre Dame at night!  This was taken when a bunch of us went down to hang out with local Frenchies on the "quai", which is right along the Seine.  It was unbelievably gorgeous and cold.  

The four of us enjoying out mini "fete" by the Seine. 

A fountain in La Place de la Concorde.

L'obélisque in the center of La Place de La Concorde.  It was right here that the guillotine was set up to behead Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI.  Too cool!!

From Le Place de La Concorde, we trekked all the way down Le Champs-Elysees to L'arc de Triomphe!

Voila!

More pictures to come later.  For now, the internet is moving way to slow to even consider uploading more pictures...
