We had a wonderful time in Paris. I am going to try to post some pics today. We are at the best Hostel in EU it is located in London. We decided to hang out here today so I will post some pics later. Let me tell you about Paris.
We landed on the 20th at about 1pm. We were lost for about 2 hours looking for our hotel. It was so far out. It was a nice hotel though. I was very lucky I stayed in a 4 star hotel with Cesar in Barcelona then Eddie and Dane had a 4 star in Paris. So I got lucky. It was far out but it was a great hotel. We just chilled out and went to dinner in Paris that night. We also booked our day trip to Normandy. We walked around the town after dinner to see all the night attractions like the Louve, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, The arc de triumph.
Then we woke super early on Thursday to go to Normandy. It is such a beautiful town with so much history. I must say I cried during the movie. Then we went to the beaches and to the cementary. It was so worth seeing. It was so moving and so emotional. Once we left Normandy we went to Paris and we headed for the Eiffel tower. We grabbed a bite to eat this guy was grilling Chicken on a stick it was so good in a french bread. We took it and ate it at the Effiel. We then popped 2 bottles open of red wine and drank them under the Effiel. We were there for a good 2-3 hours. It was so lively. People were everywhere. We meet some people from Paris and sat with them awhile and talked. The funny thing is they were just learning English so it was a bit difficult. What helped was one girl knew portuguse and so that is very similar to Spanish so that helped a lot. Eddie and I just spent most the time cuddled in my shawl becuase it had rained earlier and we were freezing.
Then on Friday we slept in a bit for the 2nd time in all our travel time. We slept till 9:30. We checked out of the Marriot and into this little French Hotel Cesar was staying in. It was nice because everyone had there own room for a change. Me and Eddie in one, Cesar in one, and Dane in one. We all headed out to lunch, to see the Notre Damme, then to the Louve. The Louve is so impressive and I feel so excited to say I saw the Mona Lisa twice-WOW!!!
I also saw Venus de Milo and the statue with Cupid and Venus in a lovers kiss. That is my favorite. Well then we went our seperate ways. Cesar and Dane went theres. They went to drink Congac in a Frech bar. They had Crepes and they went to take a nap. They also went to dinner. Eddie and I went on a River cruise, a very nice 3 course dinner and a walk along the river.
The life changing moment is Eddie asked me to Marry him on one knee and everything. He hit every childhood fantasy I had about being asked to marry someone. The wine next to the river, the romantic spot, and the one knee with ring in hand. I got a keeper. He asked me at 9:30pm. on June 22nd. It was 3:30 pm Dallas time. Somewhere through my tears I said yes. We are very excited. We are now engaged. We are planning to tie the knot next June or July. I want June 22nd. Eddie wants July for other good reasons so we need to decide later but just plan for a summer 2008 wedding coming soon :)!!!!!!!!!
Love you all and we are very excited!!!!!!!!!
Poor London, Amsterdam and Germany they can't beat Paris....
