Paris by night

Cora, Abby and I kicked off the new year with a visit to Paris. We went on one of those chartered tours with the guide and the bus and what not. That's right we were those people starring wide-eyed out the window on a foreign land. Paris at night is astoundingly beautiful. I highly recommend it. Remember to bring more jackets than I did, because it was freakin' freezing.

I should also mention the awesome ferry ride across the channel. We left from Dover, which was cool, because it has white cliffs. So, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of an English Channel crossing it can be a little bumpy. The boat has a food court in it where you can get all sorts of breakfast meats, especially the really dense ones, like english sausages. Well, I ate a belly full of english breakfast meats just before the ship left the harbor for open sea and gale force winds. We where then buffeted by the waves for a full hour. I spent the whole hour gripping a barf bag and humming to myself. The trip back was just as fun.
