Paris In February

Yes, it does look like we are wearing the same thing in many of these pictures as it is FREEZING in January and February -- just not as cold as in Philadelphia. The kids had another school break and Eleanor had asked for Paris! We took the Eurostar and stayed at a great 2 BR apartment near the Louvre. The top picture is outside the Pompidou Centre. I bet many of you have seen that before, but how many of you have had your 10 year old turn around and hand you a molar????? The tooth fairy has very good European maps as Eleanor has lost teeth in Belgium, England, and France. I suppose she will lose the corresponding one on the other side in Berlin (mid-March). As for the other photo, obviously we are outside the Eiffel Tower. But how do you convince a 5 year old that it is not the "Eiffel Tower of London"? You know, they can be pretty convinced they are right. Not until we returned to Lewes did it become the "Eiffel Tower of Paris." We did all the typical tourist things - Notre Dame, Seine Cruise, Louvre, crepes on the street....and still it was crowded in chilly February. I can only imagine what it is like in July!
