Capture

So we have finally accepted the incredible fact that Paris is our new "temporary" home for the summer and we catch ourselves walking around town with our heads constantly up because there are so many amazing sights at every corner. We will never understand how people who live here could ever get used to the beauty and the architecture! Granted, there is a definite dirty side to Paris...but we wont focus on that :)

We have been snapping pictures left and right trying to capture the beauty of Paris, which is difficult on a 2x3 camera screen! Here are just a few of our pictures so far of our favorite sights around town that we wanted to share with everyone. Most of these we took on a Fat Tire Bike Tour!

Here we are in front of Iglesia De Dome (translation: The Dome Church)...the French get very creative with their names of things.

This is inside the courtyard of the Louvre Museum. You are surrounded on all sides with beautiful intricate walls and it rocks! We have yet to tackle the inside of the Louvre, but once we get a game plan and a few hours off we will definitely do that (and probably blog about it!)

Versailles is one of our favorite spots that we have visited. It is about a 25 minute train ride from our apartment and is one of the places that Fat Tire takes tours! We both went and highly suggest going if you are anywhere near Paris! Pictures never do it justice, so this artsy picture of a bike will have to do! There are so many things to do while there: you can go to the Market, The chateau, the gardens, Marie Antoinette's village/apartments, etc.

Here we are with our friend Ben, who is a fellow Aggie and one of the tour guides at Fat Tire! We took a day trip on bikes and wondered around town (dodging children, cars, and poodles all down the Champs Elysees). We ended up at the Arc de Triumph and got some cool pictures, probably because it was a beautiful day!

Notre Dame is definitely one of the coolest spots we have seen and it always makes for a cool picture. Love the gothic architecture!

We will leave you with a few of our prized pictures that we love! Again, we are so thankful to be living in such an incredible city with God's beauty evident at every sunset!

Au revoir for now :)
