Day 5 & 6: Paris/Traveling to Lucerne, Switzerland

Guten Tag from Lucerne, Switzerland!  I have a bit of catching up to do since our Paris hotel wifi was touch and go.  Paris was beautiful beyond words and the weather was AGAIN in our favor.  Here are some highlighted activities we enjoyed while touring around the city:

Enjoying a breakfast drink at sidewalk cafe, Cafe de Luna (right down the street from Moulin Rouge)

Admiring the grounds at Le Louvre (sadly, not enough time to explore interior works of art)

Fascinated by the facades at Le Louvre

We selected some fromage from a local shop, along with un baguette. Joe purchased foie gras mousse for himself.

Without intension, we happily stumbled upon Notre-Dame de Paris

La Tour Eiffel in all its splendor, at twilight

We visited L'Arc de Triomphe on Thursday morning, prior to catching our departing train to Lucerne.

Magnificent architecture at L'Arc de Triomphe

Train station in Paris: Gare L'Est

Boarding Train #1 of the 12 day train portion of the trip.

Now, we are getting set to explore Lucerne on foot!!  

We send our love to all our friends and family following our journey!  xoxo
