Top Ten List for our Vacation in Paris

Week 3

10. Monte trying - on his own - to take care of our girls, a 3 year old boy and 2 twin girls under under 2 years of age.

9.  Seeing a Starbucks inside the Louvre.  How much rent do they pay each month?

8.  Going to the Louvre and fighting with the 10,000 people pushing and shoving to video-tape and take a picture of the Mona Lisa.

7. Watching the smurf movie for the 50th time on our trip.  How come Gargamel could never 'smurf' those little annoying blue guys!!!

6.  Sophie asking Kristy if they could go into the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs Elysees to look at purses.

5.  Arnaud - a good friend - who managed to break the code of a neighboring flat's wifi access!  Now we don't have to look for public wifi access in the best places in Paris: local parks, McDonalds (in which you have to pay to use the bathroom but not their wifi) and Starbucks (at which you get an hour of wifi with every purchase).

4.  Elodie shouting during church at the temple du marais - while I try to quite her down -  "No!  I won't be quiet.  I HAVE to talk!!!!" 

3. Elodie singing "I love the Eiffel Tower" at the top of her lungs the entire 45 minute train ride from Paris to St. Germain-en-Laye in a very full train.

2. Going up the Eiffel Tower together.

1.  Playing tag and general jump-o-rama at the Jardins du Palais Royal
