Paris, France - Post 3

OK.. so I am a little behind on posting... We had stopped at many beautiful places in Paris. I wish I could post all of the pictures... but I think this Paris Post should sum up our trip to Paris.

Since we didn't have enough of Paris... we were told to take a night drive of Paris - because everything was so beautiful at night. So we all piled in the car at 10:00pm and were off for another adventure. Sam remembered this beautiful place to take us to... it was a surprise... he plugged it into the GPS and off we went. Well one thing our GPS has not been very good at is taking us down roads that are only PEOPLE roads. So there we were on the way to this beautiful place.... we turned down a people only road and could not get thru because there were so many people... the best part was that 5 other tourist cars also followed us up this road. It was CRAZY! I can not even remember the names of this building. But it was worth the crazy drive.
When we were driving on our night tour... Sam happened to turn down the road that came out right in front of the Eiffel Tower. We hit a Red Stop Light and just then... the Sparkling lights came on at the tower. It was PERFECT timing. I guess they come on every hour for about 10 minutes or so at night. Sam made the comment "you better get your pictures of the sparkly tower... because we wouldn't be around when they sparkle again"... well little did he know... we would still be out taking pictures and we would get to see it again... oops!

What did Kora think of all this driving around at night.... she missed it all! Even when we would slam the car doors from jumping in and out of the car... she was OUT!
Sam was a great night driver.... he stopped when any of us said stop!! We just had to get the perfect photos... even if it meant standing between two roads with on-coming cars!

This beautiful sky... just fits this fun couple!~
