|
| The Eiffel Tower for anybody dumb enough to not recognize it |
I really didnt see the appeal - I guess that makes me more french
|
But I had to show people pictures right?
|
This was ofcourse the first thing we did
|
Paris was seeking a bid in the Olympics at the time
|
So they made their tower look ugly only to lose to China!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A nice over-exposed shot |
Same shot, better light
|
Better shutter speed and angle!
|
L'arc de triumph the insulting canine
|
I call this the brother's pose - its my own invention
|
Over-exposed brothers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If you have a brother, you know every photographer makes you do this pose |
The arch was much bigger than I expected it to be
|
When in Rome...whatever, when in Paris, get beer at McDonalds
|
Drinking on MacBeers
|
These guys were drumming so like tourists, we took pictures
|
Some sort of government building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Probably the capitol buildong, but I forget |
Is it just me or does this look like the spitting image of cleapatra's needle?
|
Maybe its the same
|
We explored all around the Sourbon and gardens |
Years of studying French history came back to me in spurts - too many revolutions. |
I cant see it well and I am too lazy to check - is this in the tuilleres?
|
|

|
Me and Dom taking in the summer day
|
We actually ate here and almost dined and dashed |
They charged us more than 4 dollars for regular water, and the waiter scarcely attended to us
|
Entry to the Louvre |
I had been looking forward to this since I was in 4th grade, but it ended up being possibly the worst day of the trip
|
Some people will never understand this, but I had to go to Disneyland
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Just some of the scenery entering the park |
We actually jumped the turnstyle at the station and rode all the way accross the city for free!
|
One of the highlights of the trip is hearing Micky speak french |
The castle was so big it barely fit in my hand - no kidding though, this place is great
|
Space Mountain Mission 2 - so much better than the original
|
imagine being shot into space instead of crawling up the tracks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oh, and also imagine a loop! |
No explanation
|
The castle was huge and you can go all the way to the top, and even into dungeons below
|
Even the landscaping was better than in the states! |
This is Sleeping Beauties tower
|
And more decorations in the top of the castle |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mickey's beanstalk - I forgot how high it goes |
Scull rock from Peter Pan, as well as Captain Hook's galley |
This sunken ship (which replaces Tarzan's tree house) leads right to Pirates!
|
Look how much we are enjoying ourselves!!
|
There is also a little arabian village a la Aladdin |
The haunted mansion - French style. Notice the different architecure
