French Fries

Day 15: Paris
Today we took the Metro from our hotel into Paris.








The weather was very hot & humid (37c!). We both ended up getting a bit of sunburn; Joel more so than me. We spent the day touring around Paris by bus, foot & Metro.






The city was also in the process of getting ready for the Tour de France.


In all of our travels, today was the first day where the differences in the languages really hit home. For example: in Finnish, there is a word for a room that is hot and steamy that people spend time in. It’s called a sauna. The French also have a word like this. It’s called the Metro.



One other quick distinct that needs to be made about Paris...

- Eiffel Tower
- Ear'fle Tower











Here are a bunch more of photos from today.








As you can see, it was a very nice day.










We think this last one was dressed up for Bastille Day
