Two days in Paris have been incredible!

This is a quick post before we board our plane home. We've been in Paris for a little less than 48 hours and have packed much into our stay. It's a first for the both of us in this extraordinary city. Here are some things we've done. Each of these were the direct advice of friends ...

Yesterday we visited the Sainte-Chapelle cathedral and understood immediately why our friend said it was a "must-see." Incredible! This photo shows some of its amazing stained glass.



We also walked down the Seine, and crossed several of its famous bridges on foot (here again is a sample photo). We went even further and took a sightseeing boat down the river last night.

Everyone said we needed to visit the Eiffel Tower. This last shot is a view from it's second level:

Now it's time for me to start packing. We hope to have lunch before heading to the airport, at our favorite local bistro. It's appropriate that our last act in Paris -- and indeed in France -- will be eating and drinking. The food and wine have certainly been another highlight!
