Our first day in Paris











After breakfast this morning we departed on our city of Paris. The day was glorious - low 70's, blue azure sky and not a cloud in the sky. Our tour guide was wonderful and filled us interesting information as we navigated our way through the narrow streets of Paris. We had plenty of photo ops at the Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's Tomb, the Arc of Triumphe and the Champs Elysees. Our last stop was Notre Dame cathedral where we stayed for mass - simply awesome and breathtaking! We stopped for sandwiches and crepes then walked over to the Latin Quarter. The Latin Quarter is home to Sorbonne College and is filled with shops, cafes and a lively atmosphere. It is also home to statue/fountain of Saint Michel. After exploring the area, we took the Metro home and settled in for dinner. Tomorrow we've scheduled an afternoon of sightseeing after lunch then it's back to FIAP for a welcome reception at 5:45 p.m. I'm really getting to know the girls and their nuances. Some girls like to shop, some are NOT morning people, some like to eat, some like to walk and others - not so much, but one thing they all have in common is that so far ALL the girls love Paris.
