A Stranger in a Strange Land - Saturday

Yaaaaawwnnn. Long day on Friday! We slept in a bit on Saturday and decided to visit the local mall near our Hotel. It was small but had a toystore and a Super Marche (supermarket) inside. We desperately needed some milk and a few basics and Ryan needed to blow off a little steam.



Afterwards we took a different route down to the Eiffel tower and noticed they were having a festival. We stopped and took some pictures and bought a chocolat crepe and a delicious poulet baguette.



Which reminds me did I mention that since they don't have high chairs anywhere besides McDonalds, poor Ryan had to eat his Nutella and Carrots in his stroller ;)



Everything goes better with Nutella it's true!

We picked up a little cash because we were running low on the Euro's.



Took a quick nap and headed off to the Seine to do a river tour. The river is beautiful and winds its way through Paris, touching almost every landmark in the city. Ryan was wonderful the entire ride and you could see couples walking hand in hand along the river and lovers sitting together on benches all along the river.




On the way home we stopped by a little french cafe and had a glass of wine and listened to the waiter tell us how the United States was ruining the world. We decided not to eat dinner there and instead headed to ... you guessed it! McDonald's! for a lovely meal.

Now I don't know if i've told you the drinking age in France is the lowest I've ever heard but this is ridiculous!



Haha ok ok they don't give them away with happy meals. However I did order this 1664 beer in my Le M Sandwich meal deal. It's one of the drink choices right next to Coca Cola Light and Fanta Orange. It doesn't even cost extra.

And of course one more picture of the tower.



Goodnight Paris!
