Cousins, Le Tour, and Walt.

Paris. It felt like home...home amongst the smelly deodorant-boycotting natives, unfortunate smelling sewage, skimpily dressed tourists, and ever persuasive salesman of Eiffel Tower key chains, bags, Heinekens, and "fresh water." 

But Paris held so many things to enjoy....sights, history, entertainment, and food of course!! Not to mention Paris held something very important to us at this time: 6 Stokes. We were extremely lucky to meet up with my cousins in Paris! What a beautiful, wonderful trip! Not only did they provide floor for sleeping and a hot breakfast, but they allowed two smelly backpackers to enjoy their company! "This is the REAL family reunion," said Doug. :)

Paris Party!


NOTRE DAME
First stop: Notre Dame cathedral

With a crepe while we waited... Banana Nutella of course!!

EIFFEL TOWER
We climbed all the way to the top! ...well we rode the tram...

First sparkling of the night!

Back down on the ground, smooching an waiting for the Stokes to return from their dinner cruise.

LOUVRE
Mona

Venus

Pyramid. Who knows what really lies beneath.... Robert Langdon!

SACRE COEUR
Sat and watched all the "vendors" get busted by the fuzz

Also ran into Harmon's favorite YouTube sensation right here on Montmartre!

DISNEYLAND PARIS
Three years ago I was kept out of these walls... But I succeeded this day! Woot!

Overall a great experience. Some rides were the exact same, some where slightly different (for better and worse) and others were completely new! 


Our favorite ride!!!!
