J'habite à Paris!: Jerry and Beth do Paris, Part I

17 May 2006

Just a couple of quick photos from sightseeing with Amy's parents today! More to come when I have a bit more free time.

Dad and Mom, next to the Seine and in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Mom enjoys her first taste of Lenôtre's finest: in this case, a feuille d'automne. (Think rich chocolate cake and cream.)

Mom and Amy stand in one of the fireplaces in the Conciergerie (the prison where Marie Antoinette was kept until she "lost her head.")

glad you're having fun. Eat an extra cake from Lenotra for me....looks like it'll be a while before I get to sample the "good life" again (as if living in Paris isn't the "good life" already...but of course it is).
