Pictures

Well, unfortunately, today was our fourth and final day at Paris. Lourdes, here we come! Until then, here are some pictures of Paris.
Sincerely, The Puffin



 ...284 steps to the top of this arc, with a beautiful view of the city.
 We all loved seeing this original work at the Louvre by El Greco.


 A store named in Nina's honor!
 THE Mona Lisa!
Crepes, smothered with nutella. Our favorite treat.

C
repes while out and about, dinner in tonight.

Notre Dame

Hi! This is Nina. We are all still marveling over the beauty of Notre Dame. Right now, Mom is gazing at a statue of Notre Dame, waiting for confession to begin (the backpack is ironic! :-) ). I am sitting next to her, staring up and the seemingly impossibly detailed designs on the cathedral walls. Statues and candles are everywhere. There are even two sephulcres (sepple-cures? sepple-kers?). Kind of creepy, but still beautiful. Until next time, au revioir!

Lets go!

Not quite around the world, but at least headed to Paris. Getting ready to seal up the aluminum tube, and head out at 550 miles per hour for the next 7 and a half hours.  Gotta love business class.  Next stop Paris...

Progress in PARIS

Hello! This is Sara......aka, Mr. PUFFIN. No pictures so far, unfortunately. Just jetlag, nutella crepes......and poodles. WHAT IS WITH ALL OF THE POODLES!? Anyway, the time here is 7 hours ahead of that in PC, so our entire family is trying not to snore right now. We're staying is a medium sized, fifth story appartment in the heart of Paris, just STEPS away from the Notre Dame cathedral. Well....goodbye until next time.

Hi, it's me again! Mr. Puffin! We've added a few pictures, they're on the homepage. We've done so much in just a few short days, it's hard to imagine it all! Well, we've finally gotten over the jetlag. It's hard to believe, but tomorrow's going to be our last day in Paris! We're going to Lourdes after that. (Did I spell that right???) To all the teachers back in Park City, I wish I could be in school right now! Truthfully, I would much rather be at school leaning than.....out here learning. You all are just such great teachers!
Miss you!
