Paris - Day 1

Taxi Driver paid, we are now checking out of new apartment for the next week...and man did we ever score on this one! Such a cute building and 4 flights of stairs (will help keep those baguette lbs off) into the most amazing apartment.

The view of the apartment from outside.

Full kitchen with dishwasher, washer & dryer.

Livingroom

View of livingroom from kitchen.

Bathroom with huge shower.

After checking out the apartment, we crawled into bed for a 2hr power nap...felt soo good.

Bedroom - bed is a murphy but still a huge bedroom!

After our 2 hr, we went out for a walk to check out the neighbourhood, have some lunch (delish), buy some fruits and veggies and went to find the Eiffel Tower.

Shopping 1 block from the apartment.

More shopping.

Some really nice architecture.

Another beautiful building

Really liked the rent-a-bike stands but the girl that came to show us the apartment said that riding a bike is as bad as being on a motorcycle, yikes! Guess we will stay away from renting one, lol.

Rick liked this car :)

We found the Eiffel Tower which was about 15 min walk from the apartment.

On our way back we stopped for groceries...here is Rick taking a bite out of the first baguette :)

We must have done a lot of walking because we came back and took "another" 2 hour power nap...felt great.

Well it is off to bed now. Lots planned to tomorrow.
