Paris

At the beginning of May I went to Paris with my friend Diana.  It was a short trip over the weekend, but we had a blast.  We drove from Germany to Paris (about 4 hours without traffic).  We met up with Graham, a family friend from Dallas.  Graham is currently living in Paris giving tours with Fat Tire.  He begins law school this fall back in the states, so we wanted to take advantage of him being in Paris before he left.

Day 1:

We were suppose to arrive in Paris in time for Graham's bike tour at 3 PM (he changed his schedule just for us), but unfortunately we got stuck in Paris traffic and missed his tour.  We saw the Eiffel Tower and walked around bit before meeting up with Graham after his tour.

Graham took us to the Tour Montparnasse (I think that was the name) where we could go to the roof and see all of Paris.  It was an amazing view.  There was no wait, unlike the hours you wait at the Eiffel Tower and it cost a lot less too!

Later that evening Graham took us to his favorite restaurant.  It was a tiny Thai restaurant with only a hand full of tables.  We had Bo Bon or Bo Bun for dinner.  I never saw a menu so I'm not for sure how it is spelled, but it was delicious.
