Germany Observations

Hey guys!

Now that I'm finally finished sharing pics from our Paris anniversary trip, I thought it would be really interesting to share some observations about the differences between Germany and the United States.

As a little disclaimer, these are just my personal observations about the differences between two places I've lived based on past and current experiences.  I'm certainly not trying to make any sweeping cultural statements or start anything with anybody!

Paris Day 7- Eiffel Tower and Heading Home

Hey guys!

We were lucky enough to have a late afternoon flight back to Germany on our final day in Paris, so we spent the morning at the Eiffel Tower and then hung out at our hotel until it was time to catch a train to the airport.

Here are the pictures that I took from the Eiffel Tower- the views really were amazing!  I'm not wild about heights, so I was pretty happy to head back down after a while, too.

 

Paris Day 6- The Louvre and Notre Dam

Hey guys!

Day six of our AMAZING Paris anniversary trip was spent taking further advantage of our two day Paris Museum Passes.  The first day we went to Versailles, The Pantheon, and the top of the Arc de Triomphe.  The second day, we spent our morning at the Louvre Museum  and hit up Notre Dam, including a tour of the bell towers.

Even though we already had our tickets, we made sure to get there before the museum opened and were around the tenth people in line.  I HIGHLY recommend getting to the Louvre as early as possible- the entrance lines were crazy by the time we left a lunch time!

As a side note, despite an art history course in college, I'm by no means an expert on art or art history.  As we went through the museum, I basically took pictures of what jumped out at me.  I'm including names where I remember them, but this is not intended in any way as a comprehensive tour of the Louvre.
