Stopping for a quick pic before crossing over the bridge to the left bank

Hil, Caitlin and I on the balcony of the Opera House.
Love how they decorated the place!

We realized after we should have just taken the picture together!
Standing at the top of the Champs Elysee in front of the Arc de Triomphe
Ahhh, there's nothing like being in the city of love on Valentine's day... with your brother!
There was no way of escaping the fact that we were in the midst of the world's most sappy Hallmark card as we strolled down the streets of Paris on Saturday. Couples to the left, couples to the right, couples making out with a flagrant disregard for the fact that there was anyone around who perhaps did not want to see their lunch in reverse. Anyway, enough of that, we actually had a great day out and about; we couldn't have asked for a better day as the sun was shining and was actually warm (36 degrees). Caitlin joined us and the three of us went to the Paris Opera house, Sacre Coeur and Monmatre. A picture really is worth a thousand words because I am having a hard time describing the beauty of everything; just enjoy what is above.
Yesterday we had somewhat of a lazy day as we spent it planning our next move -to Barcelona - and reading our books in the park at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Today however, we are heading to Pere Lachaise to visit Jim Morrison ('s grave site), and to Marais, the Jewish area of town for some good food, Victor Hugo's church, and what we are told will be lovely sightseeing.
