What you might see in Paris

Something that we have come to enjoy living in Europe is boiled and poached eggs.  So far everywhere we have been has had them.  We have always liked boiled eggs but have never tried them soft boiled.  It is amazing how fast they cook and how delicious they are.  One bit of advice I have is to have a cup of cold water ready if you plan to eat them right away.  The soft boiled ones are much better served warm and placing them in cold water for 30 seconds to a minute will help make it possible to Peel them without burning your fingers.  If you don't want to deal with that then just poach them.
 
 
You can't go to France without eating a croissant!
 
This is us eating breakfast in our hotel.  (except me of course, since I'm taking the photo)

 
Some things you are likely to see in Paris are...
 
 a Farris wheel
 
A carousel
 
A bridge over looking the River Seine.
(on this particular bridge, there was pad-locks attached to the fence)
 
The River Seine

And of course, the Eiffel Tower. 
 
We were only there for 1 full day since we flew in on a Thursday afternoon and left on the following Saturday.  On Friday we spent the day at the Louvre Museum.  I don't have pictures of that posted yet.  I do plan to add some in the future.

  1. I am guessing you dont know the meaning behind the padlocks on the bridge? Its a love bridge :)

    People will engrave the padlocks with their initials or names and its supposed to mean that their love will last forever :)
