Bonjour from Paris!

7/16/11: We've spent the past two days in Paris and have been roaming the streets of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower.  This morning we got a tour of the city from a Paris tour guide, however it was interrupted by a rain shower, but don't worry we still learned a lot and got to enjoy the sights from the dry bus.  In the tour we saw the different government buildings, the tunnel where Princess Diana died and of course the Eiffel Tower and amazing shopping!  After our tour, we had the option of visiting the Lourve, which is the museum that the Mona Lisa is in. Believe it or not, but the Mona Lisa is actually very small.  The Lourve houses many famous pictures and sculptures and is one of the world's most visited museums!  After museums comes shopping and eating!  Paris had many fantastics shops for all the Girl Scouts to experience as well as some amazing food.  Who doesn't love crepes?!  We had a great time in Paris, but we're off to bed as we leave for London very early tomorrow morning!  As they say in Paris - Au revior! (Good-bye in French)
