PARIS PICTURES

I figured this could use some more fun pictures so here are some from France. The descriptions for each picture will be above them!


A picture of the port in Marseille with the sea top frozen...
Marseille tree branch covered in snow..
Tim and I getting covered in snowfall!
Eric and Stephan not too happy in the downpour of snow..you gotta click on the picture and see a good close up of Eric's face!
The town of Marseille making history with this much snow!! This is why I was snowed-in and missed my flight back to Ireland!
Tim making a snowball to begin the first fight...along with the rest of the town!
A street covered in snow....people were randomly skiing down the middle of the street...
Group picture on our way to buy drinks...what else do you do when you're snowed in??
Eric at his favorite store!...
Close up group shot...we look pretty happy to be experiencing the snow...must be BEFORE I fell in a gutter!
Tables outside a cafe....Eric and Stephan played Tic-Tac-Toe across them..
The port...
VERSAILLES, France...
The walkway in the garden around the back of the Palace...

It was a LONG walk around the whole garden fountain/lake and Tim decided to leave his mark on the ice...
Boys will be boys...
Part of the Palace at sunset...
The "lake" at sunset on our walk...

In front of the Palace near the garden (in the back)
The Palace garden....the long white thing in the background is the freakin' long "lake" we walked all the way around...took FOREVER!
Across the frozen water...


Boys still being boys...

Bummer the fountains were all frozen over!
But looks pretty cool like the horses are coming out of the ice...
The attempt to buy water and tea and somehow ended up with a crepe...not really sure how that happened but I wasn't complaining!!

Pretty obvious....
Paris covered in snow...
The view from the top of the Tower at night...


Les Invalides where Napoleon's tomb is buried....
The real deal...
Outside of The Louvre...
In the metro station..
The Arc de Triumph...
Pretty pond near the Eiffel Tower...

They really are sleeping on the metro after a long day...we were tempted to leave them there...
Eric's fabulous night and the coolest public restrooms....
On my grand adventure wandering around...
The front of the Tower...much prettier at night though!
