kind of hard to see, but the beach runs right up to the parking lot of Mont St. Michel, and there are times when high tide causes the parking lot to be non-existant and if cars are there, they can drift away and become not so great boats...


Mont St. Michel


Barrels used in making the various drinks at the apple farm we toured.


barbed wire left at Pointe d'Hoc, another beach of D-Day


American Cememetery at Omaha Beach


Omaha Beach, Normandy; main beach of D-Day.


mine and Nina's faces at being awake at 7:30 on a Saturday morning...beautiful, no?


some cool grafitti I found walking home from the park.


Canal du Villette


Le Sorbonne


A semi-ok view of l'Eglise Ste Genevieve...aside from the van...


Beautiful window in l'Eglise Ste Genevieve du Mont.


A side view of the Pantheon; somehow I didn't get a single full view shot of the front...really have no idea how I managed that with the number of pictures I took.


This is a not so great picture of my good buddy Voltaire, who happens to be buried in the crypt of the Pantheon.


"Live free or die."
dedicated to the heros of France


Apparently this bad boy will never stop spinning because of the rotation of the earth; I don't really know what it is or why it's there, it was just kind of cool and interesting. It's suspended from the dome of the Pantheon and it will never be still; there's some sort of importance to the numbers running around the base, but again I don't know what.


beautiful dome of the Pantheon


le Palais de Justice


beautiful stained glass windows in Ste Chapelle




They had a room with plaques dedicated to everyone who was guillotined during the Revolution; we found King Louis XVI.
