La Grande Roue
After visiting Notre Dame, Brent and I continued to wander around Paris to see the sights. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to and around every corner is something worth seeing.
Beautiful buildings:
The Seine:
Eiffel Tower and the Seine:
It's so small!
At this point, we had made our way back towards the Louvre where these guys walked up out of the metro and quite literally stopped traffic:
The bald man in the wedding dress was my absolute favorite:
I wonder where they're going:
La Grande Roue:
Brasserie Le Carousel:
Apparently during the summer there is a miniature carnival set up next to the Louvre and La Grande Roue (the big Ferris wheel in Paris):
Sorry the lighting on these pictures is so weird:
Of course we had to take a ride:
View from the top:
The rooftops of Paris:
Montmartre in the distance:
The Louvre:
Brent:
Me (I wasn't going to post this picture because the color on my face is all off and I look like a zombie, but I do love how Brent got the Eiffel Tower in the background):
Brent and Me:
After the Ferris wheel, we took a walk over to the Eiffel Tower to see it up close. I'll post pictures of that another day, but for now, here are the pictures from our walk:
Aren't the buildings in Paris just gorgeous?
The Musée d'Orsay over the Seine:
I don't know what this event was, but there was a red carpet so I got my camera out!
A beautiful bridge:
Segway riders:
A building covered entirely in plants:
Next up is the Eiffel Tower!

I can't get over the beauty of Paris. Your pictures bring it all to life. Did you ever have one sunny day? Maybe that's why all of Europe takes the summer off, they know the weather will be rainy.
