We just returned from an enjoyable trip to Paris (January 7th-14th). One week wasn't nearly enough time to explore everything there, however it was long enough to forget what it's like to come home and work again.
Among the attraction we saw were: The Eifel Tower (of course), the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Palace at Versailles, the Picasso Museum, the Thinker, the Arc de Triumphe, Midevel structures and hundreds of famous paintings. It was really incredible to see so many familiar peices of art come to life. It was all much larger than I had expected. Some paintings were literally 20 X 30 feet with intricate detail. The Arc de Triumph had me worn out by the time I reached the top. The Eifel tower was just enourmous. It was ten times larger than I expected. The Mona Lisa, however, was very small and simple compared to everything else we saw.
