Somebody made us get up at 6am this morning to see Notre Dame!! Well we were done looking at Notre Dame by 7:30am and there was nothing open for breakfast and nothing open period, even Starbucks was closed!! We walked around for awhile until we found a cafe to have breakfast at. Then we went to the Champs Elysees to find the Louis Vuitton store. Then we got some crepes at the Eiffel Tower, which were gross, way too sugary. I had one with whipped cream and chocolate! The gypsy beggars were bugging Blake, they walked up and asked him if he spoke English and he was like 'Yeah I do!!' both Luke and I looked away and tried not to laugh too bad at him. We warned him ahead of time about them! We left Blake and Katie in line at the Eiffel Tour (the line was huge!) and we are relaxing at the hotel (since we have already been to the top). The weather has turned crappy out, rainy and windy, being at the top of the Eiffel tower right now is not going to be too fun.

After we go and get them I think that Blake wanted to go on the Batobus, (boat bus), but with this weather we probably won't, unless it stops raining. Then tonight we are going to go over to the Moulin Rouge because Blake and Katie want pictures. They want to go too, but can't decide if it is worth the 90 Euro admission fee.

We rode the Batobus to the Notre Dame stop. We stopped by the hotel so Blake and Katie could drop some stuff off than we went to dinner at Breakfast in America. After that I went back to the hotel because I wasn't feeling great and Blake, Katie and Luke went to see the Eiffel Tower again and to the Moulin Rouge.

I felt better being able to sleep for a full night. We all slept in, getting up around 8am. We went to breakfast at Breakfast in America. Than we checked out of the hotel and went and hung out at the train station. We got home around 4:30, grabbed some Il Genios for dinner and settled in for a game of Settlers (which Luke finally won, it only took him 8 games). I think we are all exhausted, traveling so much really drains you. But it was so much fun!! Tomorrow we are talking about going down the Mosel to Burg Eltz (sp?). This all depends on how we feel in the morning. We have to go pick up the dogs bright and early, well at least Luke has to go pick up the dogs, he offered to go at eight.
