we have been having a great time in paris (but not such a great time with french keyboards!! so, this will be a semi-short update!)
the days here have been filled with monuments, palaces, parks, and cafes. we have been picnicking at least one meal a day and have liked finding different parks to nap and rest each afternoon.
on wednesday night (after updating the blog) we took the elevator to the top of the eiffel tower, to see all of paris. we went around dusk which was nice because it wasnt too hot, but it was still light enough to take pictures. we also lucked out because we weren`t really planning of going since the line is so, so long, but we happened to walk by and saw it was unusually short. we only had 
to wait in line about 15-20 mins!
afterward we had a late dinner (another picnic) under the tower all lit up.
yesterday, thursday, we went out to the famous roland garros tennis complex and watched the qualifying matches for the french open that starts next week. there wasnt anyone famous playing (they all get to bypass the preliminary matches) but it was fun to see where all those tennis greats will be in just a few days, and we still got to watch some really great players.
after leaving the tennis games we went to a really pretty park named parc andre citroen, to rest, nap, and snack on stawberries.
today we traveled out to versailles (about a half hour by tr
ain) to see the palace and gardens and then came back into paris to go to invalides to visit napoleons tomb (a VERY large tomb for such a little man).
we are going to spend tomorrow in the latin quarter and then we catch a night train to munich, germany - leaving around 10pm.
