"J'aime Paris" ( I love Paris )

Ok, as promised here are a few photos of your two favorite missionaries "suffering in France". Ok, we are not exactly suffering and we really love living here and we love having the opportunity to experience a little bit of Europe while learning french. We are truly blessed! Paris is an amazing city and a wonderful place to spend our 5th wedding anniversary. Yes it has already been five years! We personally really loved Paris and there is so much to do here and so much to see and experience with the history and beauty of the city but so little time to squeeze it all in. Here are a few highlights of our anniversary trip!



Sacre Coeur was an interesting place. It was a bizarre experience in that it reminded me of the story where Jesus went throught the temple and turned over the money changers tables. I believe he said you have taken a house prayer and made it into a den of robbers. I guess that's kind of what it felt like with all the tourist shops and prayer candles for sale for 2 euros a piece that you could buy to pray to a saint. There are somethings about the place just didn't seem so sacred anymore.

The Eiffel Tour is a lot bigger than it looks on television and pictures!

I guess you can never go wrong with a little Van Gogh. This was in the Musée d'Orsay. We also saw the Mona Lisa and tons of statues at the Louvre. The Louvre is probably the best value for money, but I really liked the Musée the best.

What do you expect? We were celebrating our anniversary! :0)

The Arc d' Triumphe was actually more than just something to look at. You can actually go to the top and have a great view of Paris or check out artifacts from the Napoleon era.
