More Paris

Paris, Paris, Paris.  We were suffering from jetlag and time change while we were here.  The adjustment came rather quick though and we were fine by the time we got to Berlin.  The pictures directly below are from the catacombs, which means underground paris is filled with millions of bones and you can pay a small fee to see them.  However, if you are caught walking out of the catacombs with bones or taking pictures inside the catacombs, heads will roll.  We didnt get any "souvenirs" but we did take pictures till we got yelled at in french.

In the other pictures you see a different view of the Effiel Tower.  After climbing what seemed to be a million stairs and then walking back down them, we were beat.  We laid down in the grass and I took this cool picture.  That big black stone you see is Hammurabi's Code dated to 1790 BCE, which is housed at the Lourve.  Beside me is Notre Dame.  The church is huge and the detailed artwork on the doorways, as seen below is impressive.  These pictures were drawn on the doorways because most people could not read or write and the priests wanted the people to be able to get the message, hence the abundance of pictures and the lack of words.
